On our way to our NOMADS Annual Meeting in Du Quoin, IL we stopped for a few days at The Land Between the Lakes in western Kentucky. We stayed at Canal Campground near Grand Rivers.
Our campsite at Canal Campground was not exactly level.
We saw this herd of deer every time we walked around the campground.

We caught up on some grilling while at the campground.
We visited the Elk and Bison Prairie in the middle of the day so the bison weren’t very active.
This is the closest we have been to a bison herd since our visit to Custer State Park in 2014.
Some of the bison did get up and move around while we were there.
When we didn’t see an elk on the first time around the loop we went around again and saw this one up the hill in the edge of the woods. We had to watch and wait a while for it to come out from behind the bushes enough for a picture.
Since the campground is only a few miles from downtown Grand Rivers, we visited Patti’s 1880 Settlement one afternoon.
Patti’s 1880 Settlement
The restaurant at Patti’s 1880 Settlement is famous for grilled pork chops and flower pot bread. We tried both.
We made it to the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds for our meetings and we will give you an update on that in a few days.
