We went into Davis Mountain SP and did a 5 mile hike in strong winds. We then took a nice, ling, hot shower. Ahhh..... We moved on to Ft Davis National Monument, an old frontier fort from 1880's that housed the "Buffalo Soldiers", black troops that the Native Americans named because of the wiry hair like a buffalo. They are restoring some of the adobe and stone buildings and refurbishing them with period furniture and reproductions of period military equipment. We saw the enlisted men's barrack's and the hospital. It's amazing anyone survived the hospital!
