My old NC friend, Lee "Blue" Price, is giving a blacksmith demonstration to some Scouts who have just finished their 10 day trek. He was gracious to give us lunch, and we toured what was Kit Carson's trading post. On the Santa Fe Trail, the stage coach track. We learned that a little way off was the wagon train track, and the stage coaches did not want to get behind the wagon trains, which they were in danger of doing on one 24 mile stretch. Stage coaches went 70 miles a day, wagons 12 ... this traffic issue has a 21st century ring to it. If they'd only known, all they needed was a round about. Ok, Raleigh humor.
The staff had a serious bear incident a few weeks ago, with one of them doing hand to paw combat, and winning.
