Tall Grass Prairie

We made the trek out to Turtle Rock Farm in Red Rock, OK for their Earth Day celebration that included, among other things, alpaca shearing, Cherokee basket weaving, and spinning. The ride there took us through expansive open prairie land and on our way back, we detoured north of Pawhuska, OK to the Nature Conservancy's Tall Grass Prairie Preserve. The preserve seemed to go on and on offering breathtaking views. As part of the restoration project, the Nature Conservancy reintroduced 300 bison to the preserve where they have about 25,000 acres to roam.
