Also we were lucky to survive our trip through the town of Eastend, because if we had been there 65 million years ago, we most certainly would have been hunted and shredded to death by the razor sharp teethe of scotty the mighty t-Rex! ( she was named scotty because the paleontologists drank scotch upon find her remains)If you can't tell, I have loved T-Rex since I was a little kid playing with my dinosaur toys in the sandbox, so it was with great excitement that we went to the T-Rex museum. They had found a nearly intact T-Rex in the area and had a cool little research and interpretation center.
But above all else today was the day of the animals! In fact this whole trip has been a wonderful safari of wildlife. Today we saw a badger, millions of Mosquitos, lamas, some antelope and some cool buffalo, in addition to the T-Rex of course.
We ended the day in Cadillac, the home town of Mark Lamb, a former Montreal Canadian and NHL coach. They have a beautiful free campground on the end of town. The 4 crazy bikers that arrived at 8:00pm were definitely the talk of the town of 102, cats and dogs included of course, and it didn't take long for a friendly man named Darwin to pull up in his pickup truck for a chat. He gave us the lowdown on the surrounding area and his displeasure at the provincial NDP. We don't always agree with our hosts political views but we always appreciate the conversation and goodwill of the southern prairie people.
Another nasty storm begins to brew in the east, and the potential for a bitter battle over the two remaining cinnamon buns looms heavy. Check back soon to see how your tired travelers fare...
