ANOTHER NATIONAL APRK

this morning we left the great sand dunes heading toward BENT'S OLD FORT we looked at a national park map and saw where there is a fort or two kinda on our way which ever way that is at this time...we were on roads out in NO MAN'S LAND and on star at times didn't know where we were so I guess we might have been lost according to them but we knew where we were heading...we were not sure abut this fort when we decided to go to it thinking it was a cavalry post to protect the settlers but it wasn't ..it was a fort build by 2 brothers who wanted it for trade..they made friends with the Indians and bought and traded their buffalo hides and hand made things....the brothers made money then like the stock market it fell apart ahha...it was a very interesting fort out in the middle of NO where... now we are in a small town called lamar, co in a motel/rv park...at least we have Wi-Fi even cable..so life is good... seeing lots and enjoying our 45th trip... tomorrow heading to another fort and hope to let you know about that fort if we have Wi-Fi..
