Day 5 Flying W Ranch

So later in the evening we went out for a relaxing dinner at the Flying W Ranch. This was a working ranch and had an area set aside for tourists to go through and learn about the old west.
We went through the replica wild west town and just enjoyed the sighs and sounds of the whole area. We saw an Indian tribe perform some dances in traditional outfits. We also saw what the churches and housing complexes back then looked like. We also went into a tepee and walked around the rest of the town.

Besides walking around the town we went into this saloon looking area for our dinner. The dinner was a chuck wagon style set up and the food was amazing. I had a steak, baked potato, apple sauce and biscuits (from scratch), all the lemonade and ice tea we wanted. The meal was great and we all got our fill. If anyone did not want to have steak they had the option of chicken or beef that was barbecued.
After dinner we were treated to a western music performance. This was a good time to just sit back and relax and enjoy the evening and we did. The Flying W Wranglers were the second oldest western band in the world and they were a very talented group. After the performance we retired to our hotel for the night. The next day would be our last day in Colorado unfortunately but we have a fun day of events planned. So stay tuned for my last post of the trip.
