Tough sleeping last night…muggy and since I thought we’d have thunderstorms (per multiple weather reports), I kept my windows closed and, since not plugged in, I didn’t have a/c. My fan blowing on me wasn’t comforting enough. Oh, well, tonight and tomorrow night I’m at a KOA, just outside of Minneapolis, with electricity – which means a/c.

Regardless, I drove around the bison preserve at Minneopa SP. Scientists have created a natural prairie which sustains a herd of genuine bison. In the early 1900s when bison were almost extinct – only 1,000 remained – they were crossbred with cattle. The herd at Minneopa is pure bison. Public, private, and tribal bison herd managers are working to breed out the cattle DNA from bison. On the drive around the preserve, I could tune to an AM radio station for an explanation of bison preservation.

Following the preserve, I headed over to…wait for it…a waterfall! Yep, I LOVE waterfalls! 

A trip to the post office and then arrival at my campground rounded out my day. And a BIG NAP! 🙂
