Laramie, I should probably mention that Ft. Laramie is nowhere near Laramie. And neither one is in Laramie County, of course. 8-)Doug Sundsethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01848091504066560951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-88451696230995303852013-10-14T20:22:24.404-06:002013-10-14T20:22:24.404-06:00I have not been to Laramie, so I'll have to ad...I have not been to Laramie, so I'll have to add that to my list. I have been up to Fairplay several times although my pictures were lost in a computer crash (now I really make sure everything is backed up, that time I missed two files). I need to get back up there and recover those pictures the hard way.Heislerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825061407797980077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-53256584833648409552013-10-14T16:20:57.519-06:002013-10-14T16:20:57.519-06:00Laramie has a town recreation at the site of the t...Laramie has a town recreation at the site of the territorial prison. (And you can do tours of the prison.)<br /><br />Ft. Laramie has several reconstructed buildings, including a fully furnished cavalry barracks. (The furnishings came direct from an Army warehouse; probably from a pallet behind the Ark of the Covenant. 8- ) )<br /><br />And I trust you've been up to Fairplay. It has one of the best of the museum town recreations I've seen. Even old drugs in the drugstore.Doug Sundsethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01848091504066560951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-17197133735210869462013-10-13T23:21:04.068-06:002013-10-13T23:21:04.068-06:00I don't think you can stay in this one, althou...I don't think you can stay in this one, although Murdo is only 20 miles a west, that's practically next door out here in the west. They do tours you can do self-guided tours, they have wagon rides and you can rent costumes for your day there. I don't think they have a package so its probably only a day long thing. I'm definitely going to try and get out there next season.Heislerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825061407797980077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-13262574624568190922013-10-13T23:15:27.661-06:002013-10-13T23:15:27.661-06:00I will.

Maybe I'll take a real vacation next year.Heislerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825061407797980077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-46329723182657932202013-10-13T19:00:42.728-06:002013-10-13T19:00:42.728-06:00When you go to the town on holiday, do you get to ...When you go to the town on holiday, do you get to stay in that town? Is it a functioning vacation town or do you go on tours through the buildings. It would be cool if they had a place like this where you got to wear the clothes and eat the food from the period on a vacation package.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681799401614263953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410167761570537191.post-27448996728942658722013-10-13T15:22:38.176-06:002013-10-13T15:22:38.176-06:00it looks very interesting ! a quite mysterious tow...it looks very interesting ! a quite mysterious town it seems !!<br />I hope that you will get some more pictures.Sam Wisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12492249817048127312noreply@blogger.com
