we headed southwest for a weekend in "the lodge" to celebrate the peace treaty. for those of you who aren't sure what the peace treaty is, Trevor would be happy to explain it to you. i can tell you, though, it is a HUGE celebration (one that only happens every 3 years) - complete with a parade Friday, Saturday AND Sunday morning, horses, covered wagons, native americans, guns galore, pony rides, street dances, and so much more. it also is a time that many people who have ties to Medicine Lodge come back to see old friends. here are a few pics from the weekend...
