| August 23 - Friday Marysville, Kansas to Greeley, Colorado One of Marysville's "famous" black squirrels. This one is in front of the elementary school. |
 |
| We had a little time before the Pony Express museum opened at 9:00 so we searched out a couple more squirrels. |
 |
| And we wandered around the gardens of the Koester House. |
 |
| The Pony Express Museum is in an original Pony Express Home Station. It was the first one on the route west. |
 |
| The route from east to west was specifically targeted at keeping California in the Union just as the Civil War was starting. |
 |
| We think the mail had a more comfortable ride. |
 |
| One set of WPA dolls. There is a whole cabinet of the these dolls that were made during the Depression for the study of history and international relations. They have historically accurate costumes from 1607 to 1880. |
 |
| This is part of a set of "Living Murals" a few blocks from the museum. The picture changes as you walk by! |
 |
| More Main Street art. |
 |
| That is a lot of bricks! |
 |
| And one more squirrel before we hit the road. |
 |
| It has been so interesting to see all the different kinds of barns that have been adorned with a barn quilt on this trip. |
 |
| We stopped for lunch in Phillipsburg. This is NOT a barn. |
 |
| There were quilt squares everywhere! |
 |
| It is still so very green. |
 |
| Our route took us across the southwest corner of Nebraska on the Land and Sky Scenic Byway. |
 |
| We were only in Nebraska for 6 miles though it was hard to tell the difference without the signs. |
 |
| We were treated to another beautiful sky towards sunset.... |
 |
| ....complete with oil wells...... |
 |
| And a rainbow over a HUGE feedlot. |
