highway 54 400 50

We are traveling west again!  Last night in Pratt Kansas, and tonight in La Junta, CO.  Tomorrow, Tiger Run in Breckenridge.  Denny and Marlys are already there, enjoying the cool. 68 degree weather.  It is supposed to be in the upper 30's tonight and around 66 tomorrow.  We will have gone from a high of 91 today, to 66 tomorrow--what a shift. 

Today, we got here early and then went to Bent's Old Fort Historic Site.  It is a reconstructed, 1840's privately owned trading post.  They rebuilt the site in the 1970's and staff it with people who demonstrate black smithing, cooking, etc., just the way they would have lived in the 1800's.  A really facinating look at life in another time. It was a very hard time. 

Roy and I are tired, and having a quiet night.  Barbara and Robert Rueter are traveling with us in their RV, and Barb has offered to cook breakfast tomorrow.  She is a good cook, and really enjoys preparing for everyone.  I am almost out of ideas for cooking anymore!  If it  isn't simple, I won't make it.

Time for bed.  My eyes aren't cooperating any more.  Tomorrow. I will upload images of the fort.
