saturday mammoth fossels








Forgot to tell you in the earlier post. When the buffalo are eating they make a sound like passing gas the whole time.
Today I went to hot springs to see the mammoth fossel site. it was interesting to see the bones and hear how they came to this water hole of warm water to graze on the grass growing around the edges, and slipped in because of the steep bank and couldnt get out.
Sunday afternoon Souix falls koa
Finally got the pics posted. The internet at that other campground was terrible. Couldnt get it to stay on. Lost the post yesterday several times and the pics just would not go. The first picturre is a depiction of a columbian mammoth- one of the types found in this pit. The second pic is supposed to be of a wooly mammoth the other kind found in this pit. There are 59 fossel remains to date and many more years of digging.

Just as i got here the Blue Angels were putting in an air show but couldnt get pics because they were too fast and we were not on airport.
Plan is for tomorrow to go to Timberline rv camp at waukee, iowa- near Des Moines.
