very helpful. if i paid nothing, it is worth nothing?
i understand the concept you put out there. guess i should have asked "what are these selling for currently?"
 
I visited the Alcove Spring in northeastern Kansas today. It is located on the Oregon-California Trail near a major crossing of the Blue River. The crossing was called the Independence Crossing.
 
I'm really wanting to get down there and visit some museums again.

There was a junction out by the highway where they built that statue of buffalo kill cody, they had to manufacturer a synthetic Hill to put it on there ,
An there was a colonial steakhouse and buffet there , and that old antique shop and that's where the world's largest prairie dog was at
 
What ball of twine? 😜

Tom, I have pictures of it with grandsons somewhere but can’t find them. I lived in Hays for about 7 years about 30 years ago. We used drive through Stockton a lot and I hunted deer just south of there.

Sethwyo, I used to travel western Kansas a lot and have been to Sharon Springs a few times. I even stopped a Ft. Wallace a couple of times. I had a good friend who was a Lutheran pastor in Oakley.

It is fun to read people discussing Kansas and pre 1866 history in Kansas. Kansas isn’t the mountains but a lot of folks went through it to get there.
 
Used a 1 lb pure soft lead block to hammer down some . 323 round ball into the chambers of my 1863 pocket model. On top of 10 grains of 4f Swiss.

Shaved off a perfect ring and zero misfires out of eight shots.

Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn though.....well, it is a belly gun ...
