This past week Paul Phillips and Arden toured 4 national parks in the Black Hills with Abdul from Afghanistan. Abdul is preparing to head up 2 national parks that are set to open up in his country in the near future. We not only toured the parks over 3 days, but had an inside look of park programs and discussions on park operations and management. I have visited all 4 parks in the past, but this time I learned many things that the typical tourist doesn't.
One of our more interesting discussions was had with the paleontologists that were salvaging a 30 million year old turtle fossil in the Badlands national park. This was of interest since the Agate fossil quarry is 20 miles from our ranch and occasionally we come across a fossil on the ranch.
