Playing Tourist

More fishing and we drove the "pig tail" road.  So named because it has several 270 degree turns; it also has several small tunnels carved out of the rock.




View of some presidents through one of the tunnels.



The buffalo weren't interested.

Then Roger and I had to harass the fish again below Pactola Lake.



Can you tell what's wrong with this picture? Other that the fact that the road (Hwy 385) is just below the spillway.  I guess they figure that if the lake gets high enough to flow over the spillway they won't care that the highway is under water.

One more day here, then we head east again.
