 |
Ruins not on the walk route. I would have visited but the longhorn didn't look friendly. |
| I looked it up later, this was Sutler's store. He traded with the Indians and buffalo hunters. |  |

High wind made Ed hold onto his hat while reading about the reconstructed flag pole. |

Just these four pistols. |

| Slightly off the walk route is the former cemetery. Marker say bodies were moved to San Antonio when Fort was abandoned, but I'll bet there were unmarked graves that didn't get moved. |  |
 |
One of a kind wildflower. Only one like it that we saw anywhere around. |
| Historical marker about CCC was a little off the walk route. This is how we found out the entrance was constructed by the CCC. |  |
