To the edge of the prairies

Prarie Dogs! These little guys would be way cuter to have around than squirrels.

We actually ended up taking a right at this junction, which lead us to...

Whoever comes up with the best caption for this picture wins my love.

This scruffy vegetation was in stark contrast to the prairie landscape, and right on the border to these really neat sand dunes.

That's Hus standing in the middle of the dune, to give you an idea of scale.

Next stop was the badlands, where we got chased by dinosaurs. I have pictures to prove it and everything.

Today was my first day at the new job. Full day of orientation. Got to ride in a seaplane to Vancouver, which was pretty neat. Even got to be the co-pilot on the way back (really small planes, and they'll let you sit there if you ask). Beautiful scenery on the whole ride there and back. Two more days of orientation, then the job starts for real.
