This morning I toured
downtown Lamar and watched the Chicago/LA Amtrak go through. Here are some of the sights and now it's on to Old Bent's Fort.
A statue in front of the visitor center.
Madonna of the Prairie. One of Twelve identical statues placed across the country to honor the pioneer women. For more information see

Some Lamar history.
A blade from a wind
turbine. The have a huge wind farm just outside of town and after last night they should have about a years supply of electricity.
