Off for our drive and we take a detour to do the Stockade Lake Road. There are at least a 1/2 dozen small lakes nearby - got to look into getting some kayaks or a canoe!
As we are driving the wild life loop we weren't having much luck seeing anything except some Buffalo way off in the distance. Gary was going to turn off onto one of the dirt roads but I said let's go a little further - and we are glad we did! Finally ran into the "Begging Burros" loitering in the road.
Springtime and everyone has babies!
So do you have any food for me or what?
No - well maybe I'd having better luck with them
Hey can the dogs come out and play? How about giving up some of those biscuits?
They finally figure out that we're not going to feed them so they let us pass thru.
Speaking of passing - it's very hard to pass a pronghorn - they can run up to 70 mph
. We decide to take one of the many dirt roads that go off the loop.
Finally - Buffalo
A herd with some young ones
This baby got up and looked quite curious about us. You want to be careful though Mom's are pretty protective of these little guys.
What a great drive. We worked up an appetite so we took off to Hill City to have the Filet Mignon at the Alpine Inn - 6oz or 9oz it's the only thing on the Dinner Menu and reasonable 8.95 or 10.95 with baked potato and salad.
This is an absolutely gorgeous sculpture of a horse made out of cast off things, Wrenches, Pistons, Shovels, Silverware, mufflers, tail lights - you name it. It even contains 5 smaller horse sculptures within it.
Till Later!
Meanwhile we keep on Trek'n
