The Last Day of the Mini-Vacation

Sunday it was cold and windy - so we were trying to stay warm - we went to the Theodore Roosevelt National Park Visitor Center and did the tour there - we saw the shirt Roosevelt was wearing when he was shot - yikes...

Then we drove around the loop one last time...
Can you imagine trying to cross that on foot or on horseback...
This is a vein of exposed coal - good thing it's no bigger...
We saw some more horses - these were pretty close to the road...

This is a golden eagle and our bird book tells us that it's a juvenile because it still has white feathers under it's wings - fascinating...

We saw another bashful buck...

...and a whole herd of Bison...

Some more wild horses - a bit thinner...


Then we decided to brave the wind and hike a little bit in the 'Wind River Canyon'

It was so windy that we were afraid to go very near the edge - but the views are spectacular...



Then still trying to keep warm - we found that the De Mores Chateau was still open - it was closed when we visited last year...
So we did the tour - this is their kitchen - remember it's just a summer cabin to them...
The Marquis' bedroom...
The Marquise's (Medora's) bedroom...
her studio...
The living room...
The piano...
The dining room...
