Not only is this trip a football trip, it is also a trip back in time. After our morning breakfast, we had an after game debrief. We were not overjoyed with our teams onfield performance, but in the light of day, it is still a win. We will return home and await the arrival of our next opponent, La Tech.
Today we visited Fort Riley, Ks, the home of the 1st Cav, the U.S. Calvary Museum, and the Custer House. The museum had very interesting displays and followed the history of the development calvary units in the U.S.Army.
Afterwards we visited the Custer House. Imagine our disappointment when we found that the Custer House did not exist. ( It had been destroyed by fire). Custer lived in Quarters #21. They placed a sign in front of Quarters #24 and called it the Custer House. Why?
We left Ft. Riley for Abilene, Ks, end of the Chisholm Trail and the childhood home of President Dwight Eisenhower and the Presidential Library and Museum. I would suggest to any
one traveling this way to make plans to visit both museums.
We had a great meal at a local restaurant, Joe Snuffy's. I recommend it also.
This will be the last entry for this blog. We will be home on Sunday. Be safe & War Eagle
