You and I both think that, It's unbelievable how much different we have it than they did. And to be honest, I cannot help but feel the native Americans really did get the shaft on that whole area, but I guess that's history now.

I get the same feeling going across the Texas Panhandle or Eastern New Mexico headed towards Carlsbad to see the cavern.. The rolling prairie... in a car it happens so quickly - you're in a valley ( bowl) then you're on a peak.. rinse & repeat over & over.. I cannot imagine the feeling doing it on horseback, or worse a covered wagon! And yes. The natives got shafted on many "deals" from one coastline to the other.
