July 5. You know it’s going to be a good day when you start with a really hardy breakfast cooked outside – scrambled eggs, homefries, sausage and toast. We took four walking tours through the badlands – checked out the coulees, hoodoos, wild cactus, birds, trees – it’s all so fascinating. It’s one thing to see the panoramic view from the top, it’s another to walk around deep down within them to see it up close. I’m so glad to be experiencing this with my nature nerd boyfriend whose been enlightening me about birds and trees among all sorts of other things!
We haven’t seen any rattlesnakes, black widow spiders or scorpions - just a mosquito or two … or a gagillion-billion, OMG, we were devoured by them – good thing we brought the screen tent, I don’t think we would have survived.
Today’s big thing is the dinosaur in the Tyrell Museum field site. I’m fascinated by dinosaurs! It’s hard to believe they were real, but it’s pretty convincing when you see the actual locations where they were discovered and dug up. Tomorrow, I'll see mountains! can't wait.
