Hello Everyone,
We made it into "Colorful Colorado" on Sunday and stayed at a KOA campground near Walmart in La Junta, Colorado. Monday Morning everyone but Tom went to see the famous Bent's Fort, a National Historic Site. This was not a military fort, it was a trading fort where trappers, hunters and Indians came to trade their skins for necessary items. The fort is totally restored to what it looked like in the 1840's and a living history museum. At the fort was a man filming for a Comcast documentary, so we will be on TV here in Colorado sometime in mid September, cool! Here are the pictures we took!
