Once you’ve spent a while surrounded by nothing but grass and sky you start to feel closed in whenever there is something else near you. We tried to go back to regular campgrounds, but you find yourself wanting more space, asking why are these things blocking my sky?</p> +<p>It took me a while, but I eventually I realized that what draws me in about the prairie is that it’s the only landscape that offers the vast unbroken horizon of the sea. This is why almost no one can come here without remarking on the “sea of grass” or the “islands” of trees within it. The grasslands are the land playing at being the sea.</p> +<p>We went to the other side of Buffalo Gap National Grasslands to a little campground called French Creek. It was a strange little campground, surrounded by a fence, but with a big gate. I figured it was tent-only, but there were no signs saying that, and the gate was open. As a U.S. taxpayer this is technically speaking, my land, so I drove the bus in and parked next to picnic table.</p> +<figure class="picwide"> + <a itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" href="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2018/2018-08-23_090213_nebraska.jpg " title="view larger image"> + <img class="u-photo" itemprop="contentUrl" sizes="(max-width: 1439px) 100vw, (min-width: 1440px) 1440px" srcset="https://images.luxagraf.net/2018/2018-08-23_090213_nebraska_picwide-sm.jpg 720w, https://images.luxagraf.net/2018/2018-08-23_090213_nebraska_picwide-med.jpg 1170w, https://images.luxagraf.net/2018/2018-08-23_090213_nebraska_picwide.jpg 2880w" src="https://images.luxagraf.net/2018/2018-08-23_090213_nebraska_picwide-med.jpg" alt="the bus, french creek campground, buffalo gap national grasslands photographed by luxagraf" data-jslghtbx="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2018/2018-08-23_090213_nebraska.jpg" data-jslghtbx-group="group" data-jslghtbx-caption="Seems like a legit place to camp to me."> + </a> +<figcaption>Seems like a legit place to camp to me.</figcaption> +</figure> + +<p>The ranger who came by the next morning did not like that one bit.

We came here because Corrinne is a rock hound and this is the one and only place on earth to find something called a Fairburn agate. Corrinne went rock hunting the first evening we were there, but came up empty. The next morning she took the kids out to the agate beds and Olivia promptly found a Fairburn. She spent the rest of day teaching everyone else how to find one. <em>Daddy, you have to <strong>look</strong>…</em></p> +<div class="cluster"> +<span class="row-2"> + + <a href="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2018/20180823_143947.jpg" title="view larger image "> + <img class="pic5 " src="https://images.luxagraf.net/2018/20180823_143947_pic5.jpg" alt="None photographed by luxagraf" data-jslghtbx="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2018/20180823_143947.jpg" data-jslghtbx-group="group" ></a> + + + + + <a href="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2018/2018-08-24_170934_nebraska.jpg" title="view larger image "> + <img class="pic5 " src="https://images.luxagraf.net/2018/2018-08-24_170934_nebraska_pic5.jpg" alt="fairburn agate photographed by luxagraf" data-jslghtbx="https://images.luxagraf.net/original/2018/2018-08-24_170934_nebraska.jpg" data-jslghtbx-group="group" ></a> + + +</div> + +</div> + +<p>We left the next day, headed for another national grassland in Nebraska. Corrinne and kids drove ahead to the campground while I dumped and filled our water tank in the nearby town of Crawford NE.
