- 3. Pratt County 4-Hers visited Fort Larned National Historic Site on March 26 and April 30, 2011.
- 5. We went to Fort Larned to mark GPS coordinates and take pictures for a worksheet.
- 6. Fort Larned already has a self-guided walking trail. We recorded the coordinates of the points along the trail.
- 9. If the posts marking the trail were ever lost, someone would be able to restore the markers by using GPS coordinates.
- 11. The park rangers asked us to mark the corners of the buildings.
- 14. We marked theflag pole too.
- 17. We designed a worksheet for young visitors to the park. It contains photos and questions to be answered.
- 18. Is the saddler a civilian or an enlisted man?What direction does this building face? Why?
- 19. The worksheet also has places to write down the GPS coordinates from your own device.
- 21. To answer some of the questions a visitor must use their GPS receiver to find an exact point.
- 22. Go to these coordinates:N 38属 10.949W 99属 13.174If you walk straight east from here, where will you end up?
- 23. We learned that Roy Rogers visited the fort when it was a ranch. Like many other visitors, he carved his name into a wall.
- 25. We learned a lot about using a GPS receiver and about history and the history of Fort Larned.
