Looking for prairie dogs.Since the band sang about prairie dogs, Robert Joy gave them directions to a prairie dog colony near Ellinwood. Cathy & Dave detoured on their way home to take a look. The expedition was partially successful. They caught a very brief glimpse of a large number of prairie dogs and could clearly hear their warning signals. However, after the initial glimpse, all that could be seen was the noses of the creatures and it eventually became clear that they were not going to leave their holes until this Corps of Discovery departed. Thus, Cathy & Dave came to a fuller appreciation of the fact that these creatures would indeed be difficult to capture.
