Today was the sunny day between rainy days. The temperature climbed into the upper seventies under a bright blue sky. Tomorrow the rain is expected to return.

The wild horses were also back in view from the observation tower on the edge of the prairie. They weren’t visible on my last visit to the observation tower. Today they were split up a little. On my previous visits I the horses have been in a group of seven. This time around the main group had only four horses. A single horse was a good distance off to the right and the other two were not visible. I’m not sure what the social structure of the horses is all about or if there is more than one group of horses. I should stop at the visitors center and ask a few questions. It has been a few visits since I was in the center. It seems to be open more this year.

On my walk to the day use area before sunset, there seemed to be a focus on fishing. There were half a dozen people on the fishing pier and a couple more arrived as I departed. I have not seen anything caught and I’m not sure what they expect to catch. Other than the people fishing, there wasn’t much of interest on my late afternoon walk.
