More historic Lexington.

These next few pictures, Larry said, that the smaller tombstones were members of the Olive family.





The big tombstone for the Olive Family. There is a retold story about the family in the book title: The Ladder of Rivers.



Historic marker that tells about Chief Turkey Leg of the Cheyenne Indians and a the Plum Creek Massacre. Sorry if you can't read what is written on the stone.

St. Peter in the Valley Episcopal church. I went to their serve today. Meet some really nice people there today.



St. Peter's in the Valley church. I may have been a stranger in town; however, the people in the the church welcomed me as one of their own. One of the church members, Larry, was nice enough to give me a ride around town. That is how I was able to get all these great pictures and learn about this town, which was originally called Plum Creek. Thanks Larry for your help today.

Here are a couple different pictures of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Nice lake to look at. It seems odd to see like a mountain island in the middle of it.









Echo rest area, I80 mile marker 170 in Utah

I had to stop for a short little break for driving. I stopped at the rest area near Echo, UT. This was a really nice place to stop at. A rest area basically in the canyon between two mountains.

Points of interests while traveling on Interstate 80 in Wyoming

Tree Rock is very unique and a site to see. This point of interest is found on Interstate 80 at mile marker 333 in Wyoming.
If you in large the picture, i think you can read what it says about Tree Rock, somewhat.
The next point of interest I past today in Wyoming on interstate 80 is this. This is Lincoln Monument. It is located at a rest area at mile marker 323. I have not stopped at that rest area, so i do not know what is all up there. Also, the elevation in Wyoming at this point is, 8640 feet above see level.

The cowboy going to get some new boots. I think there were more boots in the downtown area, i just didn't see all of them.

Looking down the street here in Cheyenne, WY. Nice and colorful with a nice wide street.
The Wrangler country western store. Very nice. Great cowboy wear at reasonable prices.
