Today was an exciting day so far! We started off in New Ulm, MN and headed towards Faribault, MN. Todd made another delicious breakfast, ready by 6:30am- egg and sausage sandwiches, and the riders were off by 7am again today. These early mornings might kill me- lol. I got some pictures of some of the riders as we passed them along the road.

As we traveled to the lunch spot, we saw a sign for "the falls" so we pulled off into a campground to park the vehicle. As a surprise, we happened to be in the same lot as the entrance to a Bison range, so we instead decided to drive through. We got up close and personal with a herd of Bison!
It was a bit scary to me, but also exciting to see such huge beasts right outside our vehicle!! We walked to a Thai restaurant and ate a fabulous dinner...tomorrow morning is a later start and we aren't in charge of breakfast!
I'm having trouble with slow photo uploads, so I'll have to add more photos to this post tomorrow....
Added photos!

What an awesome discovery! Bison!! Wow, the boys must have been really excited to see these majestic animals. I hope you learned a lot about them and the difference between "Buffalo" and "Bison". Keep making new memories and no doubt this will be the Summer to remember for many years. Stay safe! D & G
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how thrilling this all is for the boys after their studies of Lewis and Clark in past years. They must feel like they are on the greatest of adventures!
