Bar U Ranch

We went to the Bar U Ranch today. There were four stations that we completed. We went to a cookout camp. Mariam told us stories about the past. We pulled artifacts from a bucket. We learned that George Lane was an owner of the Bar U.
We went on a nature walk. There were a lot of trees and a river. We learned that on the ridge, the First Nations put teepees up high until the river slowed down.
We went on a wagon ride. There were steps to get up on the wagon and we did it the cowboy way.  The ladies always go FIRST and gentlemen offer them a hand.  Wagon rides are very slow. People in the past traveled slowly. You can't be loud around the horses, they will get scared.
We went to the cookhouse. There was a kitchen and it had a separate room for the female cook because she didn't want to stay with rough cowboys.  They had an ice house that used ice blocks with big tongs to keep the food cool.
