Saturday September 24th 1977
Late breakfast has Bob likes to sleep on Saturday. Davy and Kristi in pool for about 5 minutes. They both swam underwater well. Started for Great Salt Plains Wildlife Refuge 150 miles north about 12:15. Vast rolling plains, most fields plowed, some wheat up, some cattle and more trees than I expected. Sand roads into salt beds and saw my first scissor-tailed flycatcher! The salt flats are just that, with selenite crystals just under surface. Spent about 2 hours- lots of small crystals and some driftwood. Roadrunner, rabbit and along Lake- later 8 or 10 deer. White birds- black wings long lines over Flats- Pelicans ? Walked 1 and 1/4 miles Eagle Roost Trail. Left 9:15. Home 11. Bath, Kathi washing crystals bed.
