Woke up to a slightly rainy and chilly morning. Since we had to wait on the rain to stop, I took the opportunity to run to the laundromat to do a load of laundry. With that out of the way we took off a few miles down the road to the Terry Bison Ranch. http://www.terrybisonranch.com/ We had lunch at the Senator's Steakhouse on the ranch but we didn't eat anything exciting....onion rings and barbecue sandwich. Billy knows his barbecue and said that it was indeed excellent. They had horses, ponies, alpaca, camels, ostrich, goats, and llama at the ranch but we were eager to ride the train through the herd of buffalo. They had 5,000 head of buffalo on the 27,000 acre ranch and explained that that was a small ranch by WY standards. Most ranches are 100,000 acres or more. Go figure. We sat around the ranch most of the afternoon and the 150 year old Cottonwood trees growing around the barns were a beautiful sight to see. After seeing the buffalo we went into the Trading Post and purchased two buffalo rib eye steaks to cook on the grill. Will let you know how much we enjoy them.
I think that we may have outdriven our accents, sweet tea, and possibly our intelligence. Let me explain. Seems that everywhere we go and ask for advice or order from a menu folks seem to have a difficult time understanding us. I've taken to making more hand gestures than usual. We ordered sweet tea at the Senator's Steakhouse today and waiter looked at us like we had two heads. I'll let you try to figure out how we have outdriven our intelligence.
For our lurkers who are watching for RV park reviews, we have truly enjoyed F. E. Warren Fam Camp. The pronghorns who walk freely around the base and through the RV park are a treat for me to watch. The folks here are all friendly and fun to be around. The trees behind and through the RV park are beautiful....I think they are young cottonwoods. We will have to try out the park in Pensacola, Fl when we return home. We can highly recommend the Tyndall AFB Fam Camp in Panama City and the Navy Base in Panama City. We have stayed extensively at each of these. Tyndall Fam Camp has regular tribe of "Snowbirds" who come down every winter so sometimes it is difficult to find a space there Nov - Feb.
We will be leaving here tomorrow for a ranch in Dubois (sp?), WY. It will be a long drive for us - 6 hours. We have learned that 4 hours driving a day is enough. That's okay. We will be on the ranch for four days so we will have time to recover. Been humming "Oh Give Me A Home Where The Buffalo Roam....." all day. Awesome animals. "Life is Good Today"
