The weather forecast for the area to the south and around home didn't look very promising for today. Therefore, Noelle, Sierra and I opted to head north. Being Friday, the one day each week when it is open, we decided to check out Hudson-Meng Bison Bonebed.
It was an easy drive up to Crawford where we stopped for lunch at Dairy Sweet. After eating we headed to Hudson-Meng, arriving to an empty parking lot. From the parking lot we walked a trail
past a spring-fed pond to the Education and Research Center. We signed up for the tour and looked at the archaeological dig site. Some of it has been backfilled, but a nice section of dense bones remains.
After the tour and a bit of self-guided exploration, we headed outside to try our luck at the atlatl. I had tried one before, without much luck. This time our instructor was much better, and we were able to successfully hit our mark.
We then walked the trail back to the parking lot, passing some blooming wildflowers along the way.
We drove back towards Crawford, passing lots of red headed woodpeckers on the way.
Our next destination for the day would be Fort Robinson.
