We just returned from a whirlwind trip to Denver to upgrade our Trail Manor to another brand .. HiLo. This trailer will be much easier to set up and has room for our traveling companions, the dogs. Hopefully, we will now be able to avoid ears and tails as we move about the trailer.
On our way back we stopped at La Junta, Colorado for the night where we visited the Koshare Museum. This museum was established by a boy scout troop of Indian Dancers in the 1930s and has a stunning collection of art and native American artifacts. It was well worth the visit.
The next day we stopped at Bent's Old Fort, a national historic site of an early private trading post for the fur and buffalo trade on the Sante Fe trail. It was a well reconstructed and had great displays of items of that time. There were costumed docents there to answer questions but as the weather was quite cold and drizzly, they stayed in the warmth and left the crazy tourists to roam by themselves. We were, however, accompanied by the site's tour cat. This black cat met us in the first building and followed or lead us nearly everywhere. When we sat down to view the video , the cat jumped up in the next chair to view it with us. I'm sure with just a smiggen of encouragement it would have happily settled in my lap. Chuck, though, was scared out of his chair since he is very allergic to cats.
After we left the NHS we traveled home through overcast skies into a frog choker of a rainstorm just between Lamesa and Midland. Sometimes it was difficult to see the road ahead. It was a long 1400 mile trip for 3 days and we were glad to get home. I will get pictures of the museum and park into the slideshow below shortly. We are planning to do some more traveling this spring and summer so I will add new posts as we go. Only family and special friends have been invited to share this with us. This is the new, high tech version of the dreaded "family movies" but maybe you will enjoy sharing the fun with us.
