TIME TO PAY THE PIPER  Today, we hung around the campground waiting on the package from the company with whom Donald consults. We paid for the extra 3 nights to camp, and asked permission to have the FEDEX package delivered. They said that FEDEX usually ran in the morning, so after it didn’t come in the morning, we gave up any hope of getting it until Monday. Then, a knock on the door sounded right after noon, and there were two young men bringing the package over. Donald reviewed the material, and worked on the report for several hours, after which we went for ice cream, and turned in for the evening.

BUFFALO HISTORICAL MUSEUM  While Donald was working on his report, Kay went to the Buffalo Historical Museum. She found it very interesting–lots of great Indian artifacts, clothing, etc., plus some really neat diaramas of battles. Not only was the area around Buffalo in the thick of many Indian battles, it was also in the middle of the Johnson County War–the fighting between the big ranches and the smaller ranchers or homesteaders (remember the movie, Tom Horn with Steve McQueen as an "enforcer" or hired gun). There’s an incredible amount of history in this area. It is also amazing that there are only a total of 500,000 citizens in the entire state of WY. Lots of land–few people! We haven’t been here in the winter or we would probably understand why.
