Mini-vacation

School is out Thursday and Friday.
On Friday we plan on visiting the Cheyenne Cultural Center in Clinton (which has an exhibit entitled "Frontier Army/Indian Wars 1860-1890") and the Washita Battlefield National Historic Site near Cheyenne.
I see they have a New Junior Ranger Program. We enjoyed becoming Junior Rangers at Scott's Bluff National Monument last year. (A lot of work for a vacation!)

UPDATE

We will probably go camping Friday night at one of three campgrounds at the Black Kettle National Grassland (named after the great Cheyenne peace chief Black Kettle.) There are no campgrounds at the Washita Battleground. Or one of Joyce's friends lives in the area: we might pitch our tents there. It is getting cold at night these days: into the 40s F!
