This blog was written on Thursday 8/27/2009 from North Platte Nebraska.
This is a quick narrative to explain what I am doing with the following pictures. I have reversed the order so that the first thing that you see is the first thing that I saw and captured. I had to blog the first last so you would see it first.
On monday 8/24 I went to an outstanding Historical Re-creation. It is named the "Stuhr Museum of the Prarie Pioneer" Site. I recommend seeing it if you get a chance. I combines in one easy to access location many accurate pictures, narratives and demonstrations about Pioneer Life. It is like a non mormon version of Nauvoo.
I have got to go now. I will write another blog later to tell what has been happening lately. This blog is mostly to present pictures.
About Me

- On July 3rd or 4th, 2009 I will start an adventure that I have been looking forward to for a long time: Take three months off work and conduct a self supporting bicycle ride from Washington DC to Salt Lake City Utah and then visit family for a month. We will have to see how it turns out.
Dad,
ReplyDeleteI loved your latest blog posts. I am so glad you took pictures of the signs. I was able to blow them up and read the narrative. What a great idea! Your pictures and descriptions are great! I am sorry to hear your wounds from Lake Powell are still healing. I laughed that you helped a farmer catch a cow. I was grateful you had a home cooked meal with the bishop and his wife on Sunday. What an awesome adventure!

Hey, Pop-pop! We loved all these pictures! We love to learn about Native Americans. The kids think the inside of the earth lodge looks pretty cozy. It's amazing how the Pawnee dealt with everything that came to them with "forebearance" and never declared war on the white people. It has always made me sad how poorly they were treated. History should teach us to be better people. We love you, Dad.
