Fall Break Trip to South Dakota, Day 6

Our activity for today, the last day of our fall break road trip, was to visit the Frontier Prison Museum in Rawlins. The former state penitentiary, the prison was opened in 1901 and closed in 1981. You can take tours and I thought it would be interesting to wander through before getting on the road. Again, due the time of year, we were out of luck in being able to visit. The museum was being prepared for a Halloween something or other and was closed to the public. Drat!

Instead of seeing anything, we just carried on in the car, driving and driving and driving home. It took about four and a half hours to get home, and we made it by 3:00pm. We arrived to find that Blythe had cleaned and organized all over the house, including the game closet, the linen cupboard, the pantry, and tidied up the whole house. As nice as it was to find the house in tip-top shape, we missed Blythe on our trip and wish she would have been with us.

Now back to school and work.
