It was a day with bright blue skies and puffy white clouds - a great day to be outside. This morning we headed to Mt. Rushmore. There didn’t seem to be too many people out and about, that is until we got to the National Monument! We were early so it was not as busy … Continue reading Presidents, Caves, and Calcite

David got up and took the truck to the dealer in Rapid City. He was back around lunchtime. It seems that the key was faulty. They got us a new one and we have not had any more problems with the truck starting. After David returned, we went to Custer State Park. It is a … Continue reading Custer State Park

It seems that that will be a constant full timing! In the afternoon, we drove to Hermann, MO, a small quaint town established … Continue reading Hermann
