Ni-Bthaska-Ke Trail Run
For all you trail runners this is event that like the Wyco Pscyo Run Toto Run is a tough single track race.
The Ni-Bthaska-Ke Trail Run
The 12k course is on rugged and very hilly single track terrain.
Total elevation change was GPSed at 3400 feet. Not much else to say except this is not a typical city sidewalk or crushed rock trail run.
The Ni-Bthaska-Ke trail run is one of the most difficult races in the midwest.
When you finish the race you will feel a great sense of accomplishment. This is a very unique race for this area, so if you are up for a challenge while taking
in the beauty of the scenic Platte River State Park wilderness, this is the event for you.
Parking is available by the Mallet lodge, or tennis court areas. The race starts on the dam, across the street from the tennis courts. I hope to see y'all out there. Happy trails.

LB 134 Priority Bill
From: Great Plains Trails Network
LB 134 has been designated as a priority bill by Senator Dave Pankonin (Cass County). As written, it would bar the use of eminent domain by a Natural Resources District for development of recreational trails or corridors unless the use is associated with a flood control structure.
This change would have an immediate negative impact on the completion of the MoPac Trail and restrict future projects.
Please help prevent passage of this bill by the Nebraska Unicameral.
I would appreciate some volunteers to write letters to the editors of newspapers and would be happy to review your drafts if you want some help.
Please contact your Senator and any you may know to express your concern. E mail, calls and letters are all appropriate. Contact information can be found at: http://nebraskalegislature.gov/senators/senator_find.php
Other elected officials, the Governor, Mayors, etc and the Natural Resource District officials should also be alerted to the concerns about the negative impact of this proposed legislation.
Many athletic groups make use of the trails for training and we would encourage coaches, youth, parents and boosters to join in this effort.
Feel free to forward this correspondence to others. Thank you.
