Fort Woop-Up Pictures

Yesterday we paid a visit to Fort Whoop-Up as the snow was beginning to melt, and when we arrived we were told that the outside exhibit was closed, but some one came out of the rear office and said if we weren't worried about the snow in the compound we could take the key to the various rooms and go and explore at our leisure.

So we did just that!

The girl who was on the counter also said, when Mick asked if there was any coffee, she said "No, but I'll go and make you some", which she did.
What a difference in customer service attitude to the UK, and because it was partially closed, there was no admission charge, although we did leave a donation which was the equivalent anyway.

Santas sleigh?

Me cat napping, if you look there are some cougars, I think, and a bear.

We'd both like to come back in summer to see some of the activities which are here, because they have a smithy and lots of other interesting looking stuff, which were closed down for winter.

Washing hung out to dry.

This may not be in good taste for some readers, but it represents what was happening at the time of the original fort, when the 60 to 70 million Bufffalo were being wiped out.

This may also be in bad taste, but he was only trying the hat on!

Some info is on the High Bridge sign.

O.k I promise that there will be no more pictures of the bridge, and the one at the top of my page which Mick took will be removed soon and I'll replace it with different header picture.

Time for me to take a walk to the L.A. School of Hair Design, to get my cheap haircut, done by students (fingers crossed lol).

Edit: I forgot to add this picture.

Mick found this little plate on the way back up the hill from the Fort.
