Back home

Yeah, we made it home. By the time we set the return date I started to get anxious. The trip was great and I am ready to go again. It was good to see the family and find out our granddaughters still remembered us.

In early June Monroe City, by Mark Twain Lake, where we officially reside, had their sesquicentennial. On the last day we went into town for breakfast and decided to go see the
Clydesdale's. When we turned the corner here they came. They had them out exercising them. They had them in two groups and the were walking through the streets of town with Bud, the dog, running in and out. They are huge and absolutely beautiful. They kept them out of about an hour then brought them back and started to pack things up. The horses are very tame and super spoiled. I was talking to one of them and he was trying to get as close to the side of the pen so I could scratch his head. I fell in love with these magnificent animal.

Kansas, MO

We stopped at the site of the Sante Fe Trail on our way into Dodge City. You can still see the faint ridges in the hillside where the wagon trains use to travel. I am really glad we were in our nice big comfortable RV. We had a full kitchen, bath and of course take our bed everywhere we go. I guess they did the same back then only not with the comfort we have today. On to Dodge City where we did the touristy stuff and learned about the city along the Sante Fe Trail and the cattle drives that came through town. Along with the corruption and outlaws.

Juanta, Colo

We decided to check out Bent's Old Fort on our way home. Jack's sister told us about it and she thought is was worth the trip. We really enjoyed it. It had been rebuilt and furnished to period. There was lots to see and it was very educational.

Durango Colo

We went into Durango and took the train that goes to Silverton. Only, it was still to early in the year so we only went half way and came back. It was a long day on a rickety train but well worth the trip.
