I like exploring a new town and being able to walk right down the middle of the street to check out the town. I could not believe this tribute to wounded warriors on display by a man from Ohio.
And then there is the truck that hauls it.
I felt like this butterfly as I flitted around town looking at the many sculptures. I think their goal is to have one on every corner.
This is one of my favorites but you can't see the water dripping from the hat and missing his mouth to land in the pond below. It is in a lovely park, Whitney Commons, with statues, a garden, water features, a bike trail, a webcam, and more.
We picked up a few new geocaches including one at this well known bar...
And ducked in and out of shops such as this well known store that makes saddles and ropes.
The rodeo is in town this week and there are cowboys everywhere mixed in with the car enthusiasts. It looks to be a fun time. This town has a Y, wifi, Walmart, free overnight camping, dumps, water, cell service, a movie theater, good restaurants, bike trails through town, and delightful people. What more could we want? And if you need a cowboy hat..well take your pick.
Night two we spent in Washington Park adjacent to the bike trail so it seemed fit to start the morning with a nice bike ride. It was as if we had the streets to ourselves on Sunday morning. We stopped at the old Sheridan Inn which was opened in 1893 with Buffalo Bill as part owner. A run of bad luck with a recent owner has the bank owning it now. How sad!
There just happened to be a geocache there and there just happened to be a bench on the porch where Leon waited.
After an afternoon movie marathon we settled in at the park again under the tall Cottonwoods. We laughed at both The Heat and Lone Ranger at the theater.
The temps appear to be rising during the week so we think we will head to the mountains today.
