Intentions

Welcome; the intention is to tell a little about my whereabouts, travel adventures, and issues at Elk Ridge, including when I will be on the ranch, when a great time to visit (send grandchildren), etc. Hopefully there will be different divisions for Travel, Ranch Activities, etc.

Home bound

Check in: spent the night in La Junta CO. In the trip down the Smokey Hill River Trail/Solomon/Saline yesterday, was able to quickly visit a lot of sites I've studied on paper but never seen first hand. For me, the incidents and people who were participants are not so remote. For example, you young whipper snappers, tomorrow a lot of use will celebrate the 70th Anniv off D-Day. In fact, the Indian Wars and depredations in Kansas occurred just 70 yrs before I was born! 
Anyway, this am a visit to Bent's Fort on the Arkansas, impt not for the Calvary but a civilian fort for the fur trade direct on the Sante Fe trail, then a bee line for the ranch, 9 hours away.
Love to all, UR/Dad
