Chris LeDoux Park Dedication
Saturday, over 1,000 people filled the little town of Kaycee, Wyoming for the dedication of a park in Chris LeDoux's honor. Chris died in 2005. Chris LeDoux was a genuine singing cowboy and rodeo champion. Mike has loved his music long before Garth Brooks sang about him in a song. We stayed in Kaycee for 11 days. It was a great honor to meet the family and talk to the relatives. Across the street from the park is Chris LeDoux's father-in-laws store, "The Rusty Spur."

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
We arrived late to Gettysburg National Park, but just in time to see a movie and experience the Cyclorama Sound and Light Show. We stood in the middle of a round room with a mural painted on the walls. There was a narrative with lights and sound of a Civil War Battle. Very impressive. On the way out I took a picture with my cousin. We then went to the National Cemetery and had an hour tour by a registered guide. I swear I smelled smoke. This is where President Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address The sun came out, check out his shadow.
