Fort Richardson State Park, 12/31/19

75. We didn't camp here either - the park is in the process of rebuilding their water and sewer system, so all campsites are closed for several months.  This was an active fort in the 1800's, and many of the old buildings are still standing, so the park conducts guided tours of some of the old buildings.  We were able to attend the last guided tour of 2019!

Campsite 14, we thought it was the best one.

Jacksboro is just north of Ft. Richardson and has lots of restaurants and shops; it's also a county seat and has a lovely courthouse that's different from the others we have been inside and you wouldn't know it to see it from the outside.
