What a beautiful morning! The weather is a little cool, so I'm wearing a light jacket, but it couldn't be more pleasant. This is the second night in a row that we've gotten a good campground. We don't have to include our neighbors in every conversation!
South Dakota looks very different. We saw what we think are many Indian mounds. The terrain is very hilly but we haven't seen mountains, except in the distance. Other things are different, too. David was just reading the sports section of the paper--they cover bear back riding, steer wrestling, barrel racing, bull riding, goat tying and pole bending. This is just in the sports section--nothing special. We're going to Mt. Rushmore today.
Our drive over here yesterday was nice. We found a little place to stop for lunch in the middle of our journey. It was called South Fork Lodge and it was located in the Big Horn Mountain National Park. It was the cutest place--it was a beautiful log cabin. It was so warm and homey. There were lace curtains in the windows in contrast to the elk heads and cat skins displayed on the walls. They have a number of cabins for rent and offer fishing and hunting trips. The owner said she killed 2 elks with crossbows two years in a row and her daughter will kill one this year--GULP!
We stopped at a place to get new tires in Buffalo, WY. David had the tires checked before we left
Sarasota and they said we still had plenty of tread left on them, but after traveling 4000 miles, he felt we should get new ones. That delayed us for about an hour, but the people there were nice, we had some coffee while we waited and I read a couple of Good Housekeeping magazines that kind of put me in the mood for baking. Alas! I have no oven. No way to bake Fresh Strawberry Squares.

Since you made it up to Mt. Rushmore, if not already in your plans, be sure to get over to Wind Cave Nat'l. Park. Only a little over an hour away and well worth it!
