We have returned (along with our neighbors Kris and Bill Osborne and Steve and Karen Fischer) to South Dakota. Neighbors is the proper term as we are all at the same campground and only a few file folders apart at America's Mailbox, our legal address and mail drop.
When we were here last July, we had gotten everything taken care of except having our wills redrafted. Our short stay also didn't give us much sightseeing time as we would have liked so this Summer seemed like an ideal time to take care of sightseeing and the wills.
If you have never been to Rapid City and the Black Hills, do plan to come. There is so much to do and see here, that it is rather astounding. Rapid City holds free concerts every Thursday night. For a write up on "Summer Nights" see Steve's post.
Another excellent venue in Rapid City is the Journey Museum. Both Kris and Bill and Steve and Karen have blogged about it and instead of repeating everything, here are links to their posts. Kris and Bill on the Journey Museum; Steve and Karen on the Journey Museum.
We have been here two weeks as I write this and plan to stay another three. We have even managed a side trip out of the area to Scottsbluff, NE (I had a diabetes program there) which I will blog about later. However, each day has been go, go, go and we need a short vacation. Here's a list of places/things we have seen to this point:
1. Custer State Park
2. Mt. Coolidge
3. Sturgis
4. Lead (Deadwood is just too commercial for us)
5. Wind Cave National Park
6. Hot Springs, SD
7. Vore Buffalo Jump
8. Devils Tower National Monument
9. Scottsbluff, NE
As you can see, we haven't been back to Mt. Rushmore, Needles Highway, Iron Highway, the Badlands or any of the other "biggies". Maybe in the next couple of week.
I plan to write short blogs about most of these trips.
