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.
