Kaw Lake, Day 5

Another windbound day. Winds are out of the north 25-35, gusting to 45. Whitecaps and rollers were sweeping down the lake. So, we visited the Chief Standing Bear Museum in Ponca City for several hours.

While this bison and calf are life-size, I'm afraid they're bronze.

were being moved to free land for settlers, the settlers were free to move in among

the Indians and settle on their assigned lands.  The school, church, and cemetary

were along the west shore of the lake just south of the campground.
