Thursday, August 27 - Chadron, NE area




Barb - We decided to stay at the same RV park for a second night, so caught up on "RVkeeping" tasks - laundry, cleaning, windows (they are BIG in the front!) - and working on our blog! In the afternoon, we drove to Fort Robinson State Park, which was a major fort during the American Indian Wars. It was also a major remount facility for the cavalry. It was a camp location for German prisoners of war during WWII. Crazy Horse died there in 1877.

Ed - I enjoyed the state park and the history that it shows. Some of the buildings have been turned into rental cottages. This would be a fun place to spend a few days, with horseback riding, hiking, off-road jeep tours and other park areas within 20 miles.
