Good Morning Friends and Family,
This morning I am writing from Rapid City SD. We packed up at the farm and left at 9:00am. We even surprised ourselves to get out that quick. Of course it took all day the day before to put away all the tools, deep water the gardens, etc. I finished sealing up the bees in the siding the night before at 9:30. They all go back to the hive when it gets dark. I put up black plastic all around that corner of the house after spraying Wasp and Hornet spray. I held the plastic on with lath and nails. I don’t think they liked it much when I started hammering, but I didn’t get stung.
We stopped at Wall Drug , thought we would get lunch but the line was long and we weren’t that hungry. We had been snacking. Wall drug is amazing. It just keeps getting bigger and better. I think it probably adds a lot to the South Dakota economy. I read in the brochure that in the summer, they can expect 20,000 people a day. Think of the tax revenue. They have a lot of free fun stuff, good prices, good food. Donuts to die for. And a lot of upscale stuff plus tons to just look at. And, of course, free ice water.
We got toEllsworth AFB base about 3:00 and checked in. We unloaded everything since we were switching vehicles with Ben, then we headed into Rapid City. We found Ben’s house, met his roommates, and headed to Mongolian Grill for lunch/dinner. It was fun to watch them cooking our meals on a huge, flat, round table/grill. Three guys working at the same time, one on his cell phone. MMMMMM Good.
We headed back to Ben’s to switch vehicles. Christy explained all the idiosyncrasies on the Cherokee, then Ben had to head back into the field, so we left with the pickup.
We headed up to the StaveKirke to do some sightseeing. Beautiful.
We have a huge crack in the windshield so called John to see about getting it replaced before we headed out again. Then realized we would have to wash it before the new glass went in because you can’t wash it for 24 hours afterward. We got a lot of the crud off, but the bugs are like concrete. Will try to find a good car wash in Aberdeen. Safe Lite Repair will be here between 8 and 12, then we will continue our journey.
Foof
