South Dakota

in Quilting on the road

Well we have made it to South Dakota, got here about 2 PM mountain time.  Believe it or not we actually went through an area today that was only 63 degrees :)   I checked the weather page and see that all of you back in Arkansas are still sweltering in the heat!  We went through such isolated land today that if you haven’t been out in the western states you wouldn’t believe it.  From North Platte Nebraska to the state line of South Dakota it was 140 miles, we passed through 2 tiny little towns that were barely there and one larger town (2,700 pop.) before we got to the state line — from there it was pretty much the same for a good way here.  The land is so pretty though in a very barren way. 

A hello to all my quilting groups — both at home and on line.  On the quilting front I have not accomplished much!  I have completed two DJ triangles only.  I have some fat quarters pressed and ready to cut into strips to begin the top that I have planned on making while we are gone but then put it aside as I didn’t feel like cutting :)  

I’m not sure what we are doing tomorrow, we are very near Mt. Rushmore and of course plan on seeing that again (we saw it years ago) there are some caves in the area we might see and also a place called Crazy Horse.  The old west town of Deadwood is also near by.  We plan on taking a day trip this week over to the Badlands and see that also.  We will most likely be busy almost every day that we are here, there is so much to see in this area.

I will try to post some pictures tomorrow as Mike is going through the digital photo’s now and editing some and deleting some ect.
