Bents new fort on the Arkansas is on private property, and we were given permission to go there. It's kind of the story of my life, I could have spent days there, but we only had an hour or two, and the way I feel about it, anything is better than nothing. My daughter lives in Denver, and we drove to Lamar just for the day. She knows a number of people in Lamar, including the fellow that owns the land the fort is on. Rginn and I were talking about the fort on one of Tamrock's threads, and I don't want to hijack it, so will start a new one with a couple of views from Google Earth. In these pictures the river has a LOT more water in it than when I was there. There is a lot of irrigation demands on the river, so late in the year it would be very low.

And this picture shows the remains of the inner rectangular wall.
