Sheridan Lake is close to the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site and I had been wanting to visit, so this morning we left the camper, bike, and gear at the Sheridan Lake Bible Church hostel and drove to visit the area.
This massacre by the US Calvary of peaceful Cheyenne and Arapahoe was the most despicable act of savagery, killing and desecrating hundreds, mostly women and children. It was a chilling reminder of European Americans’ mistreatment of the original inhabitants of this country.
Back at the camper we made lunch before getting back on the road. The early afternoon start would get us thirty miles west to a small town, Eads, CO. We are staying at the city park that hosts cyclists.
