Embarking:
To protect the woodland trails, the Discovery Ride will not operate during rain or muddy conditions. Available for leisure and educational group booking.
Pulling the tram takes power, and the Discovery Ride tractor has plenty of it in the form of Soy Biodiesel, funded through a grant from the Nebraska Soybean Board. Soy Biodiesel is a high-lubricity, clean-burning fuel for diesel engines produced from a renewal resource — Nebraska soybeans. More: |
