We stayed in Douglas in the morning, going to the Chamber of Commerce to see the train exhibit there and the infamous Jackalope! Douglas is where the story of the Jackolope got it's start!
Then off to the Pioneer museum it was. It was interesting and full of so much memorabilia of the pioneer days and many military artifacts from the pioneer era..world war one, and world war two! If you go through Douglas, who should stop and check it out...and it is free!
We then drove to the town square stopping to take a few pics. They had a Jackolope statue down there also! Had breakfast and heaed back to the KOA for a few minutes...after getting lost for an hour first. My sense of direction was way off yesterday!
We then drove to Guernsey, Wyoming...the hub of the Oregan trail. We went to see the tracks from the wagons that were wore into the stone along the trail. Took a bunch of pics...loved the scenery!
Then we drove over to Register Cliffs. That was a cliff of course, where some of the pioneers who travel the trail signed their names. Of course over the years...people without respect of the significance of the cliff had to etch their names in it also...down grading the historical value of it. But interesting just the same. The pioneers had dug out a cave in the cliff where they used to store food such as potatoes for the travels. That helped keep the food at a cool temperature!
We finsihed touring that around 5:30 and had an hour and a half ride back to the KOA. I was completely wore out after all that.
Thanks for reading...God bless, Mike! Type at you all later!
I think they discovered the jackalope after they discovered the peyote. lol
