August 13, 14, 2014 One never seems to "sight-see" at home and this was home for so long. So we did some tourist things. The first thing we did was to visit Fort Osage. Bosco can remember visiting there with his family and his Uncle Tuck. Now, that was a few years ago! The fort was not so much a garrison as it was a secured trading station, located right on the Missouri River. It wasn't in use for a long time but served it's purpose to establish trade with the Osage Indians. A fact I found fascinating was that the Osage Indians were fierce fighters and the warriors were almost all 6 feet tall or taller, some even 7 feet tall.
After visiting the fort, we headed up to Liberty to see Bosco's cousins, Wayne and Karen Bosler. Haven't seen them for quite a while! Wayne had a stroke about 3 months ago, but is doing great. He still has a way to go, but he is doing most things by himself, and his spirit is back. Just sitting and talking, you would never know he has had a problem. Keep up the progress Wayne! It sure was good to talk about travels and old times.
Then on Aug. 14th we had breakfast with Bosco's cousin, Wayne Allen and the three of us journeyed back in time to Missouri Town 1855. I don't think you could pick a better day.

I never seem to get a picture of us and the bikes! What a wonderful day to ride! Afterward, we met the girls at Applebee's for dinner. It was a
