Day-33 and 4,084 miles on our trip odometer.  We'll be in Buffalo WY for one more night.  Today was busy but all our roaming was within about 20 miles of Buffalo.  First, we drove dirt roads south to a river crossing spot, way out in the cattle country boonies, where pioneers on the old Bozeman Trail crossed -- if they could avoid the Indians.  Not all did and there were battles that resulted in the deaths of some soldiers who were protecting the travellers -- as well as some unfortunate travellers.  The river - crossing area was prone to ambush attacks.  Not far away there had been a trading post at one time but frequent robberies drove it out of business.   Next, we drove north to old Fort Phil Kearny, a fort around which there had been several major Indian battles.  One, known as the Fetterman massacre, wiped out dozens of soldiers who had been guarding a contingent of wood cutters working to supply the fort.  That was in 1867.  Because of relentless attacks the fort was abandoned in 1868 and burned down by the Indians shortly thereafter.  From the fort we drove back to Buffalo to do a little antiquing.  Mom found a neat old lock for her collection of railroadiana.  Dinner tonight will probably be microwaved pizza at the hotel.   Lunch was at Papa Bino's Mexican restaurant, a little hole in the wall joint with excellent food.  Tomorrow we head east to Hulett WY, 9 miles from Devils Tower National Monument, a favorite of ours as evidenced by our 4 Tower visits over the past half-dozen years.
