Stray Cat? Nah, just exploring.

Do you see that in the background? That, my friends, is Scottsbluff National Monument. Pretty cool, huh? I've just been doing some local exploring lately when the weather is nice. I should be up at Agate Fossil Beds here soon. My Nebraska passport book is really coming along too. :)

Sprinkles in some Frozen Yogurt


Took a trip up to Mitchell, South Dakota with some friends and we stopped at this fantastic frozen yogurt place called CherryBerry. So delicious! I ate that whole bowl full, believe it or not. It was delicious! =^_^= Mitchell is a cute little city too.

Sprinkles Kitty Becomes a Chadron State Eagle

Yes! Mew! That is correct! I became a Chadron State College Eagle for a day. I spent yesterday and some of today roaming around the Chadron State College campus, checking out the buildings and hanging with some students. The campus is pretty big for a small kitty like me! I also got to learn how to play Borderlands 2 with a girl my owner called "Fish". She didn't seem all that fishy to me though. But she was really nice! I have some new friends supporting me in my travels now. My owner leaves campus tonight, so it was a brief visit, but it was well worth it. I've really enjoyed my time here. I will be coming back sometime for Fall 2013!!! Meow!!





Fur Trade?! Oh, thank goodness I have no fur!

Hello everyone! Meow!
Today was the first day of the Nebraska Passport program. I celebrated by going to see the Museum of the Fur Trade in Chadron, Nebraska. It's this really cute museum in a white old Spanish-like building just east of Chadron. My owner went with her good friend, Julya. Today was their first day opening for the Summer, and the museum had some new exhibits up. So of course, we had to stop and look around.

There were so many wonderful things! An entire room filled with old firearms, some stuffed wild game, really cool beaver hats, and lots of items traded between the fur trappers and the Native Americans in different areas of the United States. It was so interesting! The gift shop was full of fun, unique trinkets too! I recommend going and seeing it. :)

Afterwards, I went back to the Chadron State College Campus to go see the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center. It is a museum about the life and works of Mari Sandoz, a famous Nebraska author. She lived in Western Nebraska and wrote many novels about the stories of the prairie. There is also an area where the museum serves the diverse interests of the college students. On the basement level, there is the C.F.Coffee Gallery which has lots of information about the cowboys of Nebraska, including Mr. Coffee. :) It's really a great place to go.... and it got me my second Nebraska Passport stamp! =^.^= Day one... two stamps. Only until September 30th to get the other 78.
