CONFERENCE TOURS INFORMATION

While we will spend time on the serious challenges that we face, in the time-honored way of ASDAL conferences, there will certainly be time for fun. Wednesday, July 13 will be the main tour day. We board our bus at 8 a.m. for a "Missouri River Valley Tour." Our first stop will be the Lewis & Clark Visitors Center in Nebraska City. This brand new facility overlooking the Missouri River opened in 2004 and is home to the reproduction keel boat and white pirogue featured in the IMAX production "Great Journey West." For a preview check www.mrb-lewisandclarkcenter.org/index.html.

Next we'll visit Arbor Day Farm and Arbor Lodge. This is the home of the Morton family who started Arbor Day as well as the official headquarters for Arbor Day. Activities include touring the mansion, walking the nature trails, climbing the Canopy Tree House, visiting the Lied Greenhouse, and shopping in unique gift shops. Lunch options include a box lunch pre-ordered on the registration form, you may purchase a lunch at the restaurant in the Lied Lodge & Conference Center or the pie garden connected with a gift shop, or bring a lunch.
