Prairie Dog Town
Howdy!
It’s hard for Garmin to screw us up when all we have to do is take the 70 to the 15. From St. Louis, MO to Cove Fort Utah all we have to do is go west. Piece of cake. Garmin get her big thrill when we pull off to eat. “Get back on the road”, she says. “This is no time to stop! We must get as far from St Louis as soon as possible.”
It really pissed her off when we stopped at Prairie dog Town, to look at the freaks of the plains exhibit.
Behold the snake pit. Filled with over two hundred deadly rattlers. The guy at the counter was thrilled to tell us that a litter of baby snakes had just been born. This is the guy with Tony pulling the adults away to see the babies. Turns out there was only two babies and they were flattened by the adults.
Here are some of the other things we saw:
Two headed calf (dead and stuffed)
The world famous Jackalope (stuffed)
The six-legged cow (Just fed and still alive)
Steak, beans and rice (I was stuffed)
And, of course, the worlds biggest Prairie dog (and young, apparently) That’s me in the middle.
The thrills didn't end there. There were other animals running all over the place but since they had the right number of appendages, I'll skip over them.
After the thrilling sights and smell of the prairie we headed to Denver and the great Rocky mountains.
