Mandy : Thursday the 20th August.

Today we have visited Bent’s Old Fort Living Museum, Koshare Indian Museum, a pool party and presented at the Joint Club Dinner (Rocky Ford and La Junta) Thanks to Steve and Mary for driving us to these locations. It was extremely interesting to see and hear the history of the Bent’s Trading Fort that for a long time sat on the boarder of USA and Mexico.
The paintings, artifacts and clothing in the Koshare Indian Museum were just as good, and really no words could do them justice.
I think everyone enjoyed getting into the pool after lunch and we certainly wound down for a couple hours (some more than others!!!!!!).
A highlight for the day had to be eating Mountain Oysters at lunch. Let us just say a bull is not happy when this is served on a plate!
Although not a vocational day today, I have had many conversations tonight with people about policing and Intelligence. Topics were what I do, how our firearms laws work, impounding vehicles, robberies, etc. A Rotary member on my table (Rachel) mum was a police officer also so we discussed rosters, females in policing, etc.
