Day 43 - Forced zero day
On my ride into Eads I passed a turn off for the Sand Creek Massacre site. It was 8 miles down a dirt road so I never took it. In downtown Eads the National Park Service has a small museum devoted to this site. I went through it and learned a piece of history that was horrible and shameful. You can read details below

Normally I would be riding today but since the high is going to be 102 degrees I am staying another night in a hotel in Eads. Next to the hotel is the only restaurant in town and it is a good one. Best omelette I have had on the road and good coffee
A hundred yards down the road is a great saloon
I went in, had a Coors and had a great conversation with Milton, the owner and bartender. A cowboy at heart who has a son on the professional rodeo circuit. We talked about the rodeo life, lack of water in the west, and about our families
