Buffalo?

Since it was so nice out yesterday, we decided to take a little Sunday drive. We took the backroad from Garneill to Buffalo to start. We drove past a herd of range sheep and then we noticed one of those huge, scary sheep dogs chasing after us. Not the cute fluffy English Sheepdogs, but those big white ones that'll take you down if you are within 3 miles of the herd? Benjie got a little excited about that, and we had to tell him that that one was not a friend dog, and that he would think you would be a pretty tasty appetizer.

After that, we were coming upon a herd of Buffalo, and I asked Tim how long the Buffalo had been there. He looked at me kind of funny and said "Oh about 100 years." I just shook my head and told him I meant the buffalo animals we were driving past and not the town!

We had to make a quick stop at Eddie's Corner to get some gas and snacks because both fuel levels were a little low! After fighting with all the gas pumps because they were all down and a huge line inside because the credit card machine crashed, we were merrily on our way again. We drove through Moccasin, neither of us actually having been in Moccasin-- not much to see. Then we turned off at Windham and took the back way through Utica to Hobson. I love that drive. It's so pretty through there. Then from Hobson, we took the back road to Straw. So I guess that was our adventuring through Central Montana!
