What a trip!
After beginning the day a few miles on Hwy 70 it was all 2 lane back roads through Miles and miles of open land in wide open west Kansas and eastern Colorado. Over 100 miles on Hwy 40 so much solitude and desolation it was amazing and these roads have no rest stops , no houses, no development but just saturated with great history of long ago. Suddenly about 50 miles on hwy 40 one of those little gems of a museum I have read about before appeared in the middle of nowhere and was a fabulous museum it was! Just our luck the lady working pulled in and opened the door right before we pulled in!! So We had our own personal tour guide and were the only people that were there the entire time. …and there was so much I can’t even begin to tell you about it all. A huge room full of antique refurbished organs, dedication to Roman Nose and other Indian tribal warriors, an old railroad depot building preserved, an old building full of caravans and carriages, an old church, an old fort with bullet holes and a hidden secret floor door to underground tunnels. This buffalo sculpture in the front of the main building was created with one mile worth of barbed wire and the artist didn’t wear gloves while making it .
