We stayed in the Frontier Lodge on our visit to the Blue Duck Station. This Lodge has three units and a communal kitchen and dining area. There is no internet, TV or cell service, but plenty of things to do while you are there.
Early explorers and pioneers made St. Charles their place of choice for shopping in the 19th century. Today, you can walk those same brick-lined streets, along the ten-block Nationally Registered Historic District, and shop in those same buildings. You will find unique specialty items, home accessories, jewelry, and many other one-of-a-kind gifts rather than pelts and barrels of nails. Whether you're looking for the perfect gift or just want to treat yourself to something special, there's something on Main Street to suit every taste. See our detailed map to help you explore Main Street.
For well over 200 years, visitors to St. Charles have been settling into comfortable accommodations along Main Street. Some of St. Charles' overnight guests have included explorers, pioneers, statesmen, and steamboat captains. While visiting St. Charles they would have eaten at local establishments like Eckert's Tavern, Farmer's Home Tavern, or The Western House.

Le col Pordoi (Passo Pordoi en italien, Pordoijoch en allemand, Jouf de Pordoi en ladin) est situé dans les Dolomites, massif montagneux des Alpes italiennes. Situé entre le groupe du Sella au nord et le groupe de la Marmolada au sud, il relie le val di Fassa à la vallée du Cordevole. En outre, la frontière entre les régions italiennes du Trentin-Haut-Adige (province autonome de Trente) et de Vénétie (province de Belluno) passe par le col, culminant à 2 239 mètres d'altitude.
Fort Davis in West Texas was established in 1854 to protect emigrants, mail coaches, and freight wagons traveling the trans-Pecos section of the San Antonio–El Paso Road and the Chihuahua Trail. It also served to monitor activity along the southern route of the Great Comanche War Trail and Mescalero Apache war paths. Today, it is preserved as a National Historic Site.

At the Italian-Austrian Border. Well, I always thought my Country is called the "Republic of Austria". Here I see only "Austria". It's like somebody calls you with your Surname: "Hey, Miller. Go and get me a Pack of Cigarettes!"
I love the blue Sky, but I hate this blue Sign...

A participant in the Texas Fort Muster poses during the 2019 event in the Stockyards in Fort Worth, Texas. The Texas Forts Muster celebration was created in 2001 to celebrate the heritage of Texas’ Frontier fort settlements, like Fort Worth. The Muster brings together authentic wagons, flags, music, colorful uniforms and military gear from several Texas frontier landmarks, as well as, re-enactors, musicians and other folks interested in Texas’ frontier history. The period of time covered by the celebration was the Texas frontier from the days of the early Republic in 1836, through the settlements on the frontier to the closing of the frontier by the late 1890s. I had a great time talking to re-enactors and taking photos at the event.
