Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site / by Dave Hileman

This is not a new photo. I bought a camera a year before I took this but it is an early one of mine taken on our trip west in 2009. It was not available to me for several years. I had a strange convergence of events when the Aperture program was discontinued and the remnant I had was so corrupted it would not open. I had rescued a lot before it just quit working but about 3500 or more photos were gone, in effect. Until my grandson managed to get one of my old BU hard drives working and a better copy downloaded and I spent the morning getting some photos back. Yay. I am excited to have them and while many are not too good it is still great to have them and the record of our trip. Plus with better editing I might get some decent shots. Might. This is an original chuck wagon one of thousands of artifacts you can see at the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site in Montana. We stumbled onto this park heading to Glacier and we loved it. A ranch for more than 100 years it was turned over intact with everything as it was to the NPS. Great place to visit.

So that is one part of the news. We also leave early Sunday morning for Florida. We will be at Fort Wilderness for two days and Lake Louise State Park for 6 while celebrating the marriage of our friend’s daughter, Angie. She and John will marry on Saturday the 25th.
