Super fun and kitschy place along I-80 in Nebraska. We pulled off the interstate because we saw…read morethere were several restaurants off that exit, and it was dinner time. We ended up eating at Whiskey Creek right next door, and after dinner we walked over to check the trading post out. It's so fun and inviting with its fort-facade, giant statue in the parking lot, wagons and cannons, how could we NOT? My guy enjoyed the museum exhibits at the back of the store, and I enjoyed browsing the goods for sale. Purchased several small items including the prerequisite post cards of the area and some pretty and tasty candy rocks. I also found, much to my delight, a pug-dog car decal. And they have an excellent selection of really beautiful sterling and gemstone Native American-made jewelry. I got a gorgeous "rainbow peridot quartz" ring - I've never seen anything else quite like it anywhere! My attached photo does it no justice, but the stone looks blue from some angles, green from others. Exquisite! Multiple sales associates ignored me as I lingered at the jewelry counter looking, but then a very tall young man came over to help me. He was personable, sweet and attentive, so it's all good. In my 40+ years of life, this was my first time ever driving across the center of the country, so I can't say when or even if I'll be back that way again. But if I ever am, I will definitely stop for another visit.

The water pressure was very low, and the sink was dripping constantly when you try to turn it off. Toilet paper on the floor--not very well maintained. Writing all over the metal stalls. The gift shop was pretty tight--not somewhere I would want to shop in the middle of a roadtrip.
