Wow, thats a big Buffalo

Debbie's Blog: so this is actually the start of day three. We ended up spending too much time at the Corn Palace thus we did not do the Al's Oasis-Big Buffalo until the morning of June 13, 2010. We spent a cold, rainy, muddy night at the Cedar Shore Campground, which is right on the edge of the Missouri River(we didn't stay at Happy Camper's b/c we couldn't get them to answer the reservations telephone line). Nice place, but as stated above, cold, wet and muddy.

We pulled in and ate dinner with the fellow travelors in our trailer, when we discovered that the sinks in our RV are leaking, and we had a major flood. So after trying to clean that up and fix as best we could, we went to bed with no fire or smores. However Gunner did get a chance to test out the indoor heated pool at the campground and we also did manage to plan out our next day. We also got to see a few wild turkeys across the road roosting in the trees for the night and gobbling all evening long until dark.

The morning came with more rain and cold. We were out by 9 am and made our first geocache stop of the day and then onto the huge Buffalo, with two baby buffalos next to it. As we were there, another travel gnome (gNorman the gNome from MN) stopped to take his picture with the buffalo. So our gnome and gNorman had their photos taken together, swapped a few stories and headed on their respective ways. gNorman was heading the opposite direction as us. We then gassed up and are now on our way to the 1880's wild west town to do some dress up and photos- hopefully the rain will stop. Forcast says in the 30s tonight-yikes!!!
