Don and I just signed up for a week-long tour of the Black Hills and nearby areas in Nebraska and Colorado, with the focus on understanding post-Civil War Indian activities with the help of a professional historian, an expert in Indian affairs. The trip is being organized by a friend we met through our involvement with the Civil War Trust who shares our love of history and believes that to truly understand an event, one must walk the ground on which it occurred.
As I read the itinerary, I recalled that our class took a senior trip to the Black Hills-- in a school bus. I think we spent the first night on the bus, the second night in tents, and the third night in a motel. We visited a trout farm, caught some fish, and ate them for supper the night we camped. The next day, I think, we went to Wind Cave.
We must have done other things, but they have slipped my mind. Please share your memories of our trip.
I have a whole album of pictures interesting to look back...will share them if I'm able to come. Thanks Pat for setting this up.
