We had allowed enough time to do some sightseeing and not drive too long in one day. One problem we had though was finding places to eat. There is a lot of open highway and not many towns or even service islands. One really needs to plan ahead.
We saw a lot of wildlife and spent a day driving through the National Bison Sanctuary. I had driven it before, but saw a lot more bison and other animals this time.
These sheep were not in the sanctuary, but up on a hillside behind a rest stop. They had two attendant dogs, but didn't see any sheepherders.
In the Bison Sanctuary there were a lot of bison - bulls, cows, and calves.
Ruth McDowell taught in Kalisplett for quite a few years and visited the Sanctuary. She made this very large quilt (over 100" each side) showing the bison in the pond.
Their bright white butts make them stand out on the rolling grey/green prairie.
Quite a few deer, but they are more difficult to spot without the bright white backside.
To be continued.....
