Let's see. Two days ago we spent the day getting oriented, doing laundry, a few maintenance chores and just chilling at the RV. Yesterday, we hiked 9 miles to Little Devil's Tower and Harney's Peak. Very nice and some great views at Little Devil's Tower. By the time we got to Harney's Peak, the clouds had rolled in and the views were obscured. However, it was a good hike that taxed us a bit with some rock climbing and some scary heights! LAter that night we built a fire and roasted some hot italian sausages! Weather has still remained a bit cool, which makes for sleeping at night in the Rv very pleasant. The night before last, we actually had a thunderstorm roll through, like we were used to when we lived int he northeast. Was a very pleasant experience remembering the times in Allentown and New Jersey!!!
Today we golfed at Southern Hills Golf Club in Hot Springs, South Dakota. Very nice course, with some fantastic elevation changes and a very nice mountain layout. Both of us played well and Linda is not only striking the ball very well, but putting fantastic since her lesson from the neighborhood golf pro, Joe Blanc! Thanks Joe for both our lessons in Sandpoint!
Still to come, Needles Highway, Mt. Rushmore, Devil's Tower in Wyoming, Sturgis, Deadwood, and more bike riding on the Michelson Trail. I actually rode a piece of it two days ago, about 12 miles, just outside our RV park. Linda and I will pick a piece to ride on Monday! It is 109 to 114 miles long depending on which publication you read. It is a rails to trails conversion, hard packed gravel over plenty of creeks, bridges, gorges, etc. Would love to ride the whole thing, but will have to do that on a future trip. Will return to South Dakota for sure!
A few pics, I hope.
