Sunday, 30th. Nothing of importance occurred — distance about 15 miles — grass mingled with rushes afforded our animals plenty of food of the best quality. Game appeared to increase, though but one deer and one antelope were brought in.

The Big Blue River in flood, May 2005. You can tell it is the Big Blue because it has a sign.
