Today we arrived in Jamestown, ND, home of the world's largest buffalo. It weighs 60 tons and is visible from the Interstate. We left Rapid City yesterday, a day earlier than was planned. Mom and Dad learned that Sitting Bull was buried in Mobridge, SD so we went there to see the gravesite and spend the night. Right beside Sitting Bull's grave is a memorial to Sacagawea, who served as a scout and guide for Lewis and Clark on there first trip to Oregon.
Jamestown is a neat town with a frontier village and a herd of buffalo. The herd is right beside our RV park. There is an albino cow and calf in the herd. Remember, "when the chips are down the buffalo is empty". Jamestown was also the hometown of Western writer Louis L'Amour. His writing shack is now in the frontier village.
We will be here until Tuesday then we will be heading to Minnesota. Take care!
