Prairie Dog Town State Park

Did you go on a Vaction, sounds like it, I know I haven't seen you here for a while. Glad to hear from you. I never seen Prarie dogs, are they like hampsters?

When I was a kid we had some friends who had a 2500 acre ranch in Montana. We went up there almost every year for vacation. They owned a small campground and had horses and cattle, it was great. Part of their property also had a good size prairie dog town. We used to saddle up some horses, pack a picnic basket and go out to the middle of the prairie dog town for lunch. They are so cute and so much fun to watch! Thanks for bringing back a really fun memory.

I am no where close to Montana, but it is definitely on my must see list. More than anything my sister wants to see Montana and Wyoming. I bet I'll remember this, and hopefully I'll be able to put this nugget of information to good use.

I've never been to this Praire Dog town but when I lived in west Texas, Midland, there was a small park that was right next to a huge prairie dog town. I used to drive there on my lunch breaks and set and watch the little creatures at work and play - they are so funny and entertaining.

That sounds interesting. But I imagine those cute little critters can be a pest if not controled. But they are cute. I remember those Disney tv shows which sometimes featured animals. They were cute. We dont have prairie dogs but there is a place near here which is a protected area for Prairie Chickens. Go figure.
