Can't Wait to See You!

The bus will leave NIPCO headquarters at 8 am SHARP Wednesday morning. Please plan to arrive between 7:15-7:45* 

so you can park and check-in your luggage. We will provide coffee and rolls at check-in. 

*Please do not arrive prior to 7:15 am.

​

We request that you park in the NIPCO south parking lot (see map on page 16 of the above Energy Trail Tour Participant Guidebook). If you wish to consider carpooling with others from your cooperative, a list of the other participants is enclosed.

Please consider the following items before you go:

• The motorcoach has 4-5 steps and requires you to navigate them as you step on/off the bus several times each day. We want to ensure you have the best possible experience while on our tour so please consider the level of mobility as it pertains to taking stairs over the course of our three-day adventure.

• If you have a pacemaker or defibrillator, be aware the Oahe Powerhouse can pose an electrical problem. Please check with your doctor about this stop on the tour.

• Canes and walkers are not permitted in the electric generation facilities, as it is a safety hazard.

• You must present a picture ID card to tour the Oahe Powerhouse. A driver's license is sufficient identification.

• Wear casual clothing and comfortable shoes. We will be walking through the Oahe Powerhouse and Antelope Valley generation station, as well as some other shops. Closed-toe shoes are required when we tour the Antelope Valley Generating Station. No sandals, flip flops or high heels are allowed. Also bring a light jacket; sometimes it gets a little cool on the bus.

• There is a swimming pool and hot tub at both hotels, so you may want to bring a bathing suit. Both hotels are 100% smoke-free.

• We'll play some games and have plenty of snacks as we ride along. There are morning and afternoon stretch breaks planned for each day. Also, we rotate bus seats at various stops, so no one gets stuck in the same seat for the entire trip.

• You may want to bring a small pillow and blanket for catnaps on the bus.
