SouthDakota2008: The Chuckwagon at the Circle B Ranch

One evening we went to the Circle B Ranch for a rip-snorting chuckwagon dinner served in the barn. Before dinner we saw the "Biscuit Bandit" apprehended by the local sheriff. Sammy also got to ride a pony multiple times (we'll blog on that later). It's a nice show they put on...done by a family (father, wife, multiple sons). After dinner the father (the sheriff) and three sons sing cowboy songs.
