Saturday Sweetie was going to spend some time with a friend so me and SuperPizzaBoy had the day to ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"DSCN0780\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First stop was All-Star Therapy in Ramona, north of town. SPB rides there almost ever week. Here he is with “Seven” doing some rounds outside.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"DSCN0786\"<\/a><\/p>\n

SPB worked under the direction of Lisa who should slap me silly for this pic. There was a daytime moon I was trying to get in the pic and didn’t even notice what Lisa was doing until later. You can just barely see the moon about right in the middle of the pic.<\/span><\/p>\n

After All-Star SPB and I loaded up and went further north to the Nature Conservancy’s Tallgrass Praire Preserve<\/a> north of Pawhuska, Oklahoma. I just love it up there for a number of reasons. You can really see a long ways. 39,000 acres of tallgrass praire. The largest remaining tallgrass praire on earth it is claimed<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

You really are out in the middle of nowhere up there. You barely have cell phone coverage. An investor group wants to put a bunch of windmills up there to generate some so called “renewable” energy. They would sure ruin the view. But it would sure make investors rich! You are not one of them are you? What are you going to do with the money? I bet you are not going to build a home near any windmills.<\/span><\/p>\n

We didn’t see any bison on our way into the preserve. We stopped and did the short loop nature trail. They have loops from 1\/2 to 3 miles.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was about as nice a day in July as you are ever going to get. It was in the low 80’s when we got there. See how lush and green the grass is. Usually everything is sun bleached, beat down, brown this time of year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Untitled\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The wildflowers were pretty also.<\/span><\/p>\n

SPB really liked the trail. He announced it was too short so we we walked a little on the longer trails.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the way out the bison made an appearance. Here is a momma with two calves. <\/span><\/p>\n

And then these two guys came straggling past along with a bunch of others.<\/span><\/p>\n

In another part of the preserve we saw some cattle. Cows are more sociable than buffalo. They always stop and look where bison just barely acknowledge your present. I love these three.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Untitled\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there were some white cattle also<\/span>. You can tell that I really know my cows. You see you have white ones, black ones, multi-color ones, and so on. Anything else you want to know?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Untitled\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Very pretty coloring.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"turtle\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On our way out I almost ran over this dude. He was right on the edge of the ruts taking a nap.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"#turtle<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
I moved him to the side of the road. Hopefully it was the side he was wanting to go to. He was about to be turtleburger if I had left where I found him.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
And then, SPB headed to Bartlesville for some barbecue and then “Home James”  to the house. We were near the Pioneer Woman’s ranch but just were not in the mood to go say hello.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I love road trips. What did you do Saturday<\/span>?<\/div>\n
