Buffalo Again, 9.11.07

Today, we are still in Buffalo, Wyoming, at the same campground. It's not that this is such a spectacular place, but this campground called Deer Park is ship-shape clean, has a pool and hot tub, not a lot of inhabitants, and a sink for washing dishes, which is pretty nice, and i know we're both pretty tired of driving. So we stayed another day. Funny enough, there are huge turkeys running wild around the grounds, aggressively competing with the deer also roaming about. We don't understand how so many tasty birds can be allowed to run free, but that's just how it is around here. We visited an old, old hotel and bar and restaurant that also is a western museum place, after trying to sell a couple pairs of antiquey shoes I've been carrying around at some antique stores in town. Long story short, the hotel owner was interested in the shoes and took them for the hotel museum in exchange for a few rounds for J and me at the bar. So now if you ever visit the Occidental Hotel in Buffalo, Wyoming, look for some little red and brown shoes donated by Beth and Jesse Williams.

As I am the designated cook of this little adventure, getting to know how to cook on the fly in the outdoors better and better. It's kinda fun, at least for now. No other fanfare to report for this lovely September 11 date. Tomorrow, we decide whether to fight the possible storms in Yellowstone or head another direction. It's not as easy to drive out of the weather in the mountains, alas.
