After the Civil War, Charles Goodnight and Oliver Loving met up and blazed the Loving-Goodnight Trail spanning more than 2,000 miles from Texas to Wyoming.

Speaker Rob Carrigan will cover many miles as he discusses the invention of the chuck wagon, the Texas longhorn, Goodnight's connection to Pueblo, CO and much more. Rob is a third-generation Colorado native.
