Fort Garland

The weather was somewhat windy and cold, so we decided to drive to Fort Garland and visit the museum there.

Fort Garland was commanded by Kit Carson, and founded 150 years ago, 1858. The troops there played a role in the Civil War, in the battle of Glorietta Pass, north of Santa Fe. The photo is of General Sherman, with Ari copying his look.

We had a good lunch at the pizza place in the town of Fort Morgan, bought some groceries, and headed back to the Dunes. We drove to the end of the road for Zapata Falls, but decided to leave the hike for another day.

Richard and the girls went to the creek and dunes, but found the water ice cold and the wind sandblasting us. On the hike back, we saw a couple of deer.
