June 25 2025 A Nice Surprise

 It was another cool morning about 44 degrees. I turned the heat on in the trailer and took Cooper for a walk. The trailer had warmed up nicely by the time we got back.  I'm not sure when daylight starts, its already daylight when I get up at 5:00 am.  Susan slept till about 7.  We had breakfast leftovers, scrambled eggs and sausage. My first chore for the day was to remove the stabilizer I bent yesterday. It actually came off easier than I thought it would. After that we got dressed and headed out for the day. Our first stop was the Grand Encampment Museum. This turned into a nice surprise. It was a very nice place. We watched a video about the history of this area. The main building had lots of pictures and different period pieces. On the grounds they had buildings that were moved here from around the area. It was all very interesting. You could take a guided tour of all the buildings which were furnished from the time period. We chose to just walk around and peer in thru the windows. We visited with the museum curator for awhile talking about the area. we also met a couple from Jefferson Texas. They have been coming to this area for years. When we left there we went to an antique shop and a thrift shop. Then we head to Saratoga which is about 21 miles. We visited the Hot Springs there. It's got 2 natural hot springs open to the public 24 hours a day and its free. The North Platte river runs along beside it. There were a few folks in it but most were playing in the river. The river is running pretty low.  After that we head back  and took a little nap. Susan did a little sewing. For supper we went back to my favorite cafe, the Bear Trap Cafe.  We didn't"t see any bears but as we left there was a Mule Deer Buck just walking down the road very carefree.  When we got home our little trailer park was full. Glad we got here yesterday.  We had an enjoyable day.
