Next Stop – a State Park, Spring Vacation Blog Post #3

 Sunday, March 26, Hubs and I were still motoring around the twenty mile or so section of the tip of north-west Kentucky. So much to see in such a small area that no one has hardly ever heard of. But if you know me, I can always find something of interest no matter where I am.

After quick stops at Dinsmore Homestead and Rabbit Hash, we next arrived at Big Bone Lick State Park. I know, quite the name. 

It comes from the salt licks which attracted big animals with big bones, such as mastodons and giant sloths, all who died there and became fossils to be dug up centuries later.

We toured the small museum.

And then walked along the nature trail out back. 

 

But we were forced to turn back due to flooding on the trail. Darn spring rains.

It continued to be a beautiful day, sunny and temps pushing 60.

We took the trail out to the bison herd but they were naturally on the far end, and we didn’t want to walk that far (another mile, maybe) and then still have no guarantee of seeing them.

We headed back to the car and ate lunch inside it, with the windows and the sunroof open. First vehicle I’ve had with a sunroof!

Soon, though, we were on our way down the road again. Still more things to discover that day.
