My great granddad's family had a homestead out there. My granddad was born in a little house about a half mile south of the east butte. Nothing left but some crumbling concrete now. I remember as a kid all you heard at night were the coyotes. As a teenager you still heard them and the putt,putt of the wells. We used to have a horse trough full of stone bowls and misc. things people picked up over the years. If you know where to look you can still find arrowheads and other indian stuff. Sad to see the turbins up there, but they'll be gone too one day. We still have the grass airstrip off HWY 14 25 miles to the south. It's fun to fly over that area in an ultralight and put down for a quick look see/lunch.

Day trip to Pawnee grasslands Saturday. Leave Denver around 8AM I think. Hit the OHV area and hike the Pawnee Buttes, with a leisurely lunch at some point. There will be a time for some target plinking.

All day, pretty laid back. The roads are all easy dirt. The OHV open travel area is whatever you want to make of it. We'll just play a little.

PM, Email or call me. Saturday I'll leave the HAM on 146.460
