This past weekend was really busy, but also very exciting. I started on Sat. manning the information booth at the Arts Festival and Doug did traffic control! Worked from 7am-5pm Sat. and 8am-5pm Sun. Had a lot of different people come through and almost all of them just loved the park as much as we do. There were thousands of people there and I didn't have time to take even one picture!!!
Mon. we were out of the RV at 4:30am on our way to park cars for the Round-up. It was bitter cold when we started, but got into the mid 70's and was a perfectly beautiful day. We both worked in the calf area and what an education we got. I felt so sorry for those little calves as they went through the shoot, got branded, got their shots and even had something squirted up their noses to prevent pneumonia. I kept a record of the ones that will be going to auction. Doug was the relief person at the gates so he had more time than I did for pics, so all of the pics at the corrals were done by him.
The roundup was a little let down as the buffalo almost walked into the corrals! The crowd really wanted to see a bit more action, but the staff was happy as there were no injuries to any of the bison and they were not overly stressed out.
This is my last day at work and Doug is packing everything up (mostly my rocks!!!) as we prepare to leave either tomorrow or Thurs. We are predicted for rain turning to snow tomorrow and it is making him a bit nervous. We will probably take off later today.
