The Ambassador had his annual Bull Sale over the weekend in Valentine, Nebraska.
The Senator went down a few days earlier to help him, while
Patrick and I held down the fort at home.
We met up with everybody in Valentine on Friday afternoon.
We had to travel through the Sandhills of Southern SD/Northeren NE to get there.
Here is just a quick shot of one of the roads on our travels:

| Oh boy! We traveled on about 20 miles of this stuff. Sand. Sand. More Sand. love it. |
anywho...
On Sunday, after the sale, the Senator and I had some business to take care of in Valentine, so I took Patrick and his buddy, Rye-Rye, about four miles out of town
to the
(please check out their web page for more photos and info)
We had been there a buh-guh-zillion times, so both boys knew the lay of the land.
I sent the boys down the trail with Subway sandwiches, a camera, and a cell phone.
Here are the pictures Patrick took on the trail:

| Patrick informed me of all the places fossils were found along that ridge, so I marked them for your info... |
 |
| That's my boy! Blazing his own trail! |
 |
| Up on top of the ridge, beyond the falls, the boys spotted a couple of the famous Refuge Buffalo. |
 |
| It was an exciting moment, and a great way to end a day of hiking. |
I'm so proud of those boys.
They have such a great sense of adventure.
Gee, I wonder where that may have come from ?
from the range, peace,
