But, they will be gone tomorrow. We drove from Kennebec, SD, to the starts of the Grasslands in the rain today. Luckily, it had quit before we got to Wall, SD, because we really needed to go back to Wall Drug to see if it was as neat as the last trip. Guess what, it was not better the second time around. We went through all of the shops, had a piece of pizza, bought a little fudge and some doughnuts, and left Wall for Spearfish.
Jimmy had forgotten to pull the driving instructions to the RV Park where we are staying (same park at which we stayed the last trip when we went to Mount Rushmore). So far, I haven't taken any pictures of the park because they would look just like the pictures I took on the last trip!!! I might just reconnect that same set of pictures. I did take a few pictures today which I need to upload. I'll just attach them at the end of today's entry once I get them uploaded.
We drove into Spearfish trying to figure out where we could purchase diesel fuel before we leave to go to Billings. We checked out most of the stations and figured that we could not get the coach in (or out) of them. Finally, we went to the north side of the interstate and found a station that is just perfect - and has the cheapest diesel fuel in the area!!! What more could we ask!!!
So, we ate a quick dinner and headed back to the RV park. I was determined to get out and walk a little since it was cool enough to do so. Tomorrow we will head to the Bear park, or Mount Rushmore, or Deadwood, or something. Luckily, we are staying three nights here, so we don't have to rush.
We met a gentleman when we were out walking from Nebraska. He is heading to Montana tomorrow and on to Calgary for the weekend. He raises cattle and is meeting some other cattlemen friends at the Calgary Stampede. We hope this is the last weekend for the Stampede since we will be there next weekend!!! He told us that he had just placed an order for a new Tiffin Bus, so he is going to be going to Red Bay, AL in the near future!!!
Life is good. As we drove today, I kept thinking about a couple of Songs - America the Beautiful and I Stand Amazed in the Presence. Isn't that an interesting couple of songs to be in my mind at the same time? But, it is amazing to see the glory of God's creations and American is absolutely beautiful!!! So, it worked for me.
More tomorrow!!
