Further Prairie Dog Adventures

While the Mister's parents were here for a pleasant visit over the last week, Prairie Dog saw some new sights in West Virginia. Not only did he ride a steam train to the top of Bald Knob (2nd or 3rd highest point in the state) he went to the bogs at Cranberry Glades and saw orchids and very very small sundews. He saw Rhododendron maxima, the state flower of West Virginia in bloom near the Falls of Hills Creek. Prairie Dog is already stuffed, so he didn't get overfed on restaurant food and crazy-complicated (tasty, but not quite worth making four cake layers, a custard, a soaking syrup, a filling and a buttercream for)coconut cake, but I did.

Prairie Dog is one lucky rodent to see such sights!

I bet Prairie Dog would have a great time chatting with the WeaselTrek weasels about traveling the world.

And an enjoyable week in West Virginia it was. It was fun to travel with Prairie Dog and you and the Mister were pretty darn good company also!
