We have been touring the town of Jamestown and the Frontier Village. After a glitch with the reservations at the rv park there, we ended up traveling on 15 miles east and are settled n a small park at the Eckelson Exit.
We have had a good time watching the Buffalo Herd, including three White Albino Calves. They are supposed to be the only three living Albino Buffalo in North America. We were lucky to be able to view them because they retreat down in the bottom of the pasture during mid day because their eyes are sensitive to the sun!
We walked through the village and looked around the buildings and shops. At the end of the village is the home of the Worlds largest Buffalo. Not a living breathing beast, but a 26 ft. high, 46 ft. long, 60 ton Concrete monument, constructed in 1958. The Village is home to the White Cloud Crafters since the year 2000. It's a good thing that I don't have much wall space and don't have room for nic nacs, 'cause I'd be in serious trouble. There's some awesome art there and handcrafted items that I'd love to have.
Tomorrow I'm packing a lunch and we will finish up our visit to Jamestown. Today we drove across the Pipestem and Jamestown Dams and had lunch at Appleby's. We will be leaving North Dakota on Thursday.
I made reservations today at a Casino/RV Resort in Granite Falls Minnesota. We would have been heading for St. Cloud, however, after the fiasco that I had with the last park I made reservations for and the condition of that place, I chose a place that was a better value for the money and we will be there for a week or so - it will be Happy Birthday to me!
