Badlands Residency Day 15

Spent the day in Sage Creek with the groups from Calhoun School and Red Cloud Indian School.  We visited two bison carcasses and made numerous exciting fossil finds in the creek.  Much hiking and climbing, some hopping between rocks, and a few discoveries.  Red Cloud had to depart early in the afternoon - a sad affair for all.  Calhoun lingered around Sage Creek until evening.

My evening was filled with another few rounds of basketball with the ranger housing regulars, then hanging with Calhoun making plans for tomorrow.
