Vacation 2007 [part 4]

June 3rd Old McDonald's Farm












We took a 2 hour driving tour through Bear Country. As well as bears there were elk, riendeer, wolves, big horn sheep, dall sheep, Rocky Mtn. goats and buffalo. There were Texas gates to keep the animals separated but we did see wolves in with the bears. It was interesting to see the bears try to chase the wolves away from their food and then watch the wolves slink back.


On the way back to the hotel we stopped at Fort Hays, the set for "Dances With Wolves". I'm standing in Kevin Costner's footsteps where he got his orders to go to the frontier. Ed is trying out a casket for size.














June 4th We took a trip through the Black Hills on the 1880 Train. The scenery was breathtaking. Apparently the Black Hills were originally reserved strictly for the natives. There weren't supposed to be any white people at all. Then gold was discovered and all bets were off.





June 5th We spent the day at Circle B Ranch where we had a bar-b-que and there was a country music concert in the evening.
