I decided to take a drive around the West side of the park, through a very very small town on the reservation to get gas, and then back up through the middle of the park.  Here is a shot of the drive down the West side of the park.
 
The town was a little scary, here is one of the local saloons (when I say town, maybe 25 structures total)
 
 
 
 
Had a great drive,  saw some cool scenery and burned up a couple of rolls of film along the way.  Headed back to the campsite, I stopped at the prairie dog town to take some pictures....
 
 
 
 
 
 
After leaving the prairie dog town, I got stuck in a traffic jam for about 20 minutes....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This of course being a much better traffc jam to be stuck in than the kind I am used to on I-64 and I-95.  After shooting a few more rolls of film, the Bison decided to move on and I was free to head back to the campsite, where I hoped to run into some of my new friends....
