More Prairie Camping

 Lazy day Saturday.  Nothing planned and love that.   Writing this a week later, I can't even remember what we did all day Saturday...

Took this shot around 8AM leaving the bath house.  Notice the waning gibbous moon above.  Mostly Turkey vultures, but may have been a couple of Blacks in there as well.   Oddly, this was my first trip ever in 15 years out here where I did NOT see a Cara-Cara.

Saturday afternoon and only two other campers showed up.  Loved it had the whole place to ourselves.

Another day coming to a close.  Absoulutely stunning out here.

9PM ish moon rise.  Congregated at the end of the camping loop with the couple of other campers awaiting the moon's arrivale.   Again, pics don't do it justice.  You could easily see the Milky Way overhead and thousands of stars before it came up.

The park got a new buggy!  It was brand spanking new.  Ranger said it had 38 hours on it!  Taller than the old one and holds twice as many people.   I think they were 42" tires but not 100% on that.  Had ROyce military axles too, so they were screwing around with it.  A very SOLID buggy!

One of the natural depressions they used to use for bombing practice.  each circle is a slightly different height so different plants grow.

Thought the reflection in the water of the sky was pretty cool.

This one reminds me of a living Highway men painting.   Me trying to be artsy fartsy...

We got back to the campground and packed up and headed home.  Made a stop to say to Mike again as he didn't make it out to see us Saturday night.    The rig ran great all the way home with no issues.

As I type this we are getting ready to head out again tomorrow for Thanksgiving camping (a first for us).
