Douglas, WY - Fort Fetterman

This morning we head over to Fort Fetterman

We overshot it and found the former local House of Ill Repute - Hog Ranch
We turn around and make it to the Fort

 There are only a couple original buildings remaining.  The visitor's center is one of them
 It houses a nice museum
 We take Tucson for a walk down the trail outside
 The Bozeman Trail was an overland route connecting the gold rush territory of Montana to the Oregon Trail. Its most important period was from 1863–68
The fort was built on a Hill overlooking the North Platte River
 The house in the distance is where Hog Ranch once stood
 A look back to the Fort
We stop at the Armory where carriages are stored 


Tucson enjoys the exhibits



We pass a Jackalope on the hill on our way home
 Picked up lunch of Gyros and Rootbeer floats at Arby's - 
Tucson is on cleanup detail
 We enjoy lunch by the River and watch some Floaters go by
 and Canadian Geese do a fly over

Time to do Laundry
