Left Buffalo Wyo. early, filled up with 85 gallons of fuel and went to a super center Wal Mart in Gillette Wyo. We were glad to see a super center.  Then on into  South. Dakota.  Right after crossing the boarder the terrain changed. drastically. We started climbing into the hills and entered Black Hills Natl. Forrest.  Guess we won’t be seeing those pretty little Pronghorns any more.  Since they can run 45 MPH, it’s probably impossible to do that in the hills and forest.  I will miss them. But everything is so green here. After the Nev. desert, the Utah salt flats, and the Wyo plains and prairies, I didn’t realize I missed the piney woods.

Our RV park ( here for 7 days) is so pretty.  We were met with a flock of foul, turkeys and chickens running around the park, much to my cats delight. The park is only about one third full, the season is over and its so peaceful.  The nearest town is Rapid City SD, and it’s the largest city since Salt Lake City. We drove in after we got set up and had dinner at the Golden Corral, thought of you Tom and Joann. Jerry spotted a Ruby Tuesdays, so guess we will end up there one nite. The city is very pretty and people seem friendly.  There are lots of parks and greenery and old buildings.

Everything gets good reception here, the cell phone and of course my air card, but Jerry is having a hassle with the satellite. Think he’s tired and so we are taking showers and going to bed early.  Don’t yet know whats in store for tomorrow, so more later.  Hugs to all,  Shari and Jerry.
