While in South Dakota we stayed in a really beautiful campground called Rafters J Bar Ranch. It was one of the nicest we have ever been in and so we ended up staying there 4 days....from there we saw Mt. Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Memorial (another figure carved into the mt.) My camera battery died, but it is an ongoing sculpture of the Indian Crazy Horse, much bigger than Mt. Rushmore. They have been at it for 50 years, and it will take another 50 probably to finish it.
Our Camp was in Hill City, Where Don and Sue found a really neat antique store. This was a REAL one with stuff you remember from your childhood. What fun pouring through it all. Sue and I found a fantastic fabric store, specializing in quilts...guess those South Dakota ladies have lots to do on those cold winter days.
Don make us another cowboy breakfast on our last day in camp, and I made us all a sauerkraut dinner, dumplings and all. Vern made sure we had all the fans on!!!!!
Next day we were headed for Wall, where there was supposedly a huge old fashioned Drug store. Anticipation was high as we drove down the road inundated by ads for the place. When we arrived we discovered we had been duped. It was a GIANT tourist trap.....so we took our picture with the Indian and got out of there (well, we did buy a few trinkets!)....Next morning at 8 AM Vern and Hulls went to Cabela's, a really neat outdoor outfitter...I stayed home and drank my coffee. I love to shop, but 8 AM is out!
Today we left the Hulls. They headed for Kansas City, and we turned East on I 80. We have driven quite a few hours through Iowa, where we see miles and miles of cornfields. The corn is cut, and the hay is baled....guess they are getting ready for winter, which is hard to believe since the temperatures have been in the high 90's.
So far it's been a wonderful trip and it was fun to have company for awhile. We aren't sure when or where we are going, but hope to visit many of the relatives along the way. We will call long before we are close ...Nan, loved your message!
