Well last week was busy\u2026 little projects all over the place<\/a> but the major happenings was a trip<\/a> to the Fort and then down to visit<\/a> my sister and visiting Brother at her mountain house\u2026 <\/p>\n

First up\u2026 I had offered to take GS#1 to Bents Old Fort<\/a> for some actual history before he went back to school\u2026 It is very interesting but not as much fun as it was back about 40 years ago.  Back then they had way more volunteers that wanted to dress in period costume and explain how things were done back about 100 years ago (from that point so is about 150 years ago now)\u2026 As I remember the fort opened just about the same time<\/a> or right after the TV series of Centennial was shown.  There was a lot<\/a> of history connection to the Fort in that show, of course not all they showed was factual but there was a lot<\/a> of it that linked right up\u2026 I though it was a great TV show<\/a> with a lot<\/strong> of good stuff about how it was in the early days of the west\u2026 but oh well on to our visit.  <\/p>\n

You know it is a damn long day drive down to the Fort form here and back but we made it all the same\u2026 It is also a damn long desolate drive if you take the back road, like we did\u2026 yep we took a back road out to Peyton then south  and jogged to Ordway and there is almost nothing out there\u2026 but we did make a short side drive through Ordway and found this\u2026<\/p>\n

\"1-IMG_1945\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ordway was a big farming community with a lot<\/strong> of irrigation 50 years ago but then the big cities needed more water so they offered way more money than the farmers could resist and bought up a lot<\/strong> of the water rights so a lot<\/strong> of the farming has gone away out there.  This was one<\/a> example of old time<\/a> farming\u2026 wonder how many would remember what \u201cDisc Rolling\u201d was all about?  <\/p>\n

But on to the fort\u2026 we tracked through Rocky Ford then LaJunta and I made a short side trip<\/a> there to show<\/a> GS#1 where his mother lived , even when she didn’t \u2018t remember it\u2026 (part of year one)\u2026 and the Hospital she was born in\u2026 not sure he really cared but a walk down memory lane is always good\u2026 sorry no pictures\u2026 I was disappointed that the wood fence I worked so damn hard to get put in (split cedar picket abt 6 ft. tall) was in really bad repair but still standing which is in it self a statement on how strong I built it\u2026 or that material was much better 50 years ago? <\/p>\n

We got to the Fort and only had a half dozen cars in the parking lot\u2026 seems they are slow these days..<\/p>\n

\"1-IMG_1956\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I did get GS#1 to pose a few times\u2026 <\/p>\n

\"1-IMG_1960\"<\/a><\/p>\n

From my memory they have moved a few things around .  the tourist store<\/a> used to be here in the front but now it is and added store<\/a> display\u2026 <\/p>\n

\"1-IMG_1970\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As we are circumventing the lower level of the fort and passing through the dining room I told GS#1 to set at the head of the table and he went over and then looked at me and said he couldn\u2019t\u2026 so we got this picture but\u2026<\/p>\n

\"1-IMG_1971\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It appears one<\/a> of the Fort cats occupies that chair\u2026 and has not need to move either\u2026 <\/p>\n

\"1-IMG_1994\"<\/a><\/p>\n

we made it around the bottom and the tourist store<\/strong> is now located way in the back\u2026 probably an add on and some offices back there.  The lower parts on this west side are mostly all store<\/strong> rooms that the actual fort used for stuff in and stuff out and some living quarters in the far right lower corner\u2026 then up stairs were the Doctors quarter, camp clerk, officers (when they came to the fort and some of the troops in a group room\u2026<\/p>\n

\"1-IMG_1998\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Officers room and laundry hanging\u2026 <\/p>\n

\"1-IMG_2016\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the south end middle was the \u201ccard\u201d or gentleman’s activity room?  but as you can tell the other Fort cat had the pool table taken\u2026 <\/p>\n

We spent maybe 2 or 3 hours there and tried to see all of the fort\u2026 and the intro video and GS#1 got some info pamphlets that explained all the rooms and who stayed there as told by a then visiting officer that had drawn out the fort layout which the historians were able to piece together to rebuild the old fort\u2026 as it had burnt down over 100 years before they started the rebuild. <\/p>\n

We left the fort and headed back in to LaJunta and grabbed some fruit and drinks and then on back toward the mountains\u2026 I did by chance stop at the far west Farmers market in Rocky Ford and caught up with my old boss from the 80\u2019s.  He is family to the Knapp farms and works with his brothers and family to keep some of it running.  Back in the day he worked as I did for the USDA \u2013 Soil Conservation\u2026 which has changed names, and structure and seems is nothing like it was \u2026 but that is how things go.  We got back just about dinner time<\/strong> so it was a great day trip\u2026 ALL DAY\u2026 <\/p>\n

Next up, My brother came up to visit<\/a> and was staying with my sister at her mountain house , they all made a trip<\/strong> up to our place<\/a> on Friday and we had a good visit\u2026 and concluded that Sunday we would all make a trip<\/strong> down to her place<\/strong> for a bit more as the kids all wanted to go down\u2026 but first we had to make a trip<\/strong> down to Guffy and take in some afternoon music so that we did.. <\/p>\n

Saturday morning we headed out the back way, up the back trail of Mtn. Herman <\/p>\n

\"1-IMG_2025\"<\/a><\/p>\n

About half way up looking back toward out place<\/strong> on top of the first ridge out there\u2026 it is just 7500 ft. the mtn to the left is about 9000 ft.\u2026 <\/p>\n

and then down to Woodland Park and over to Florissant and meander off down to Guffy<\/a>\u2026 had lunch at the bar and then music for about 2 hours by a pretty good group Calanni\u2019s a family thing but the keyboard player is really good and they do the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s music real well\u2026 I should have gotten pictures but wasn\u2019t in the mood\u2026 I guess\u2026<\/p>\n

Sunday we headed off to Rosita.  Got there about 1pm (yep it is a pretty long drive down there as well , about 2 hours from here)\u2026 we had a good visit<\/strong> and got to see the new updates she had made at the house\u2026 and the kids had a great time\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not sure they will show<\/strong> but the kids had a zip line to play on\u2026 some had a great time<\/strong> some were not sure the first few times\u2026 <\/p>\n

We sat out on the deck and watched the humming birds fight over the feeder for a little while but it gets hot out in the sun at 8800 ft. so we headed back in pretty quick\u2026 <\/p>\n

\"1-IMG_2033\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1-IMG_2034\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We headed home about 4:15 once we got every one<\/strong> rounded up\u2026 and I left my camera\u2026 had to make a trip<\/strong> to Denver to retrieve it as my daughter was good enough to grab it and take it home with her\u2026 only a 45 minute drive and not a 2 hour one\u2026 ha!  Which we made today after I got the oil changed in the Jeep\u2026 <\/p>\n

so that is how the last week and weekend went here\u2026 not to focus on other things\u2026 <\/p>\n
