The sentry was on duty. As I came closer he stood and barked - warning of intruders. Then quickly scampered to his burrow. Scanning the village, I watch as other heads pop - up like people peeking over their cubicles.
One of my favorite state parks is "Greycliff Prairie Dog Town". It is located between Big Timber and Columbus.

This barking squirrel makes me laugh as I watch their antics. When I read the Lewis and Clark Journals one of my favorite passages was about taking all their men and spending several days trying to catch prairie dogs to send back to President Jefferson. In my mind I see these 40 men crawling on their knees trying to capture the prairie dogs with their bare hands. I can only wish there had been a video recording it would have won America's funniest videos.
One of the journals talked about taking buckets and kettles and pouring water down the holes to try and get them to come out. They did send one live prairie dog back to the President and he made it there alive.
