7/8/2013–Kaycee, WY–Old Fort Reno and The Bozeman Trail

After lunch, we decided to head out on a road trip to see Old Fort Reno and The Bozeman Trail.  We drove approximately 20 miles east of Kaycee then took Lower Sussex Road about 8.5 miles north.  There’s basically nothing left of the fort, but there are informational signs and a monument at the former location of the fort.
