We spent 3 nights in Oakley, KS. at the High Plains campground. It is a very nice well run park. I did check out some local museums and enjoyed them a lot. There is a lot of history in the area, including Fort Wallace. There is nothing left of the fort but there is still the graveyard with some noted graves in it. Many legends of the old west who either stayed or served at Fort Wallace include Wild Bill Hickok, William Comstock and George Armstrong Custer along with his seventh cavalry. If ever in the area the Fort Wallace Museum is a very good stop to visit the past.

The city of oakley has erected a monument to Buffalo Bill, It is hard to miss as it sits alongside the highway on your way through oakley.


We left kansas and drove to Loveland, CO. Where we are still located until in the morning. We have visited with my nieces and nephew that live here, We grilled burgers last night and had a great visit.  Loveland has really grown since the last time we were here, but it is still a nice area to visit. Vicki's toe was giving her fits so took her to the foot Dr. nurse said they could cut it off and we could call her Stunpy, but they didn't, gave her a prescription for antibiotics and told her to soak it good in epsom salt water.
We have decided to bypass South Dakota and just head straight up to Montana.
If all goes well tomorrow should find us in Buffalo, WY.
I should mention that we are staying at the Riverview RV park and Campground just west of Loveland. It is a very nice park, we are backed up to the Big Thonpson River.
Until later you all take care and God Bless.
