Well folks, it's been a while since we have been on the
web. Our lives are rather routine, but I
just don't take the time to go to the lodge to get on the internet.
It has not been all together boring!! We finally got all the
problems in the RV fixed! There were
MANY!! When that was finally over, we
had a huge hail storm and it took out our screen room!!
The noise
hitting the RV was tremendous and caused the girls to run in the closet. We watched as these white missals zoomed at
tremendous speeds smashing into everything! Almost everyone in the park had
some kind of damage. Beside the screen
room, our AC cover sustained several small cracks. We feel fortunate that we did not have more
damage.
We have since gotten a new screen room and are now enjoying
our yard again.
Just a few pictures of the wildlife we are enjoying -
This is our returning Western Tanager. We have bird watchers come to see him. The other day we watched him feed one of his young.
We have taken several day trips. One was south into Nebraska
where we visited the Fur
Traders Museum . Doug really enjoyed that. They had the
largest canoe we have ever seen.
It was used to ship furs down the Missouri
River , holding approximately 6,000 pounds. It measured about 65 ft. and 6 feet at the
widest point.
The next ride we went to Wyoming
and took the old Cheyenne to Deadwood Stagecoach
road starting in New Castle . What a wonderful day, the weather was
magnificent and the scenery beautiful.
On the way home we watched some incredible cloud formations
as another storm brewed around us!
As we entered the park I finally got to see my very first
mountain lion in the wild!! For five
years I have waited for this experience.
It happened so fast I never got a chance to take a picture, but I really
don't need one to remember it. What
beautiful animals they are.
Last Sunday we were late for church as we were held up by an
buffalo jam! They were in no hurry to
get out of our way!!
About 12 days ago I started to get a summer cold and it has
gone into my chest, as a result it is a bit difficult to sleep. It developed into pneumonia. Finally got some antibiotics and I am seeing
some results today. Yesterday I
needed to get some sun so we went to watch the buffalo, always pick me up! The rut has started and it is so much fun to
watch the males act like teenage boys.
We had quite a conversation with this guy. He acted like he knew just what we were talking about.
Can never resist a baby!
