Happy Labor Day Weekend!!
Hope all of you had a great one. We have to admit, that we miss not having been in Cambria for Pinedorado this past weekend. We heard that the parade had many entries and also, we would have loved to have seen the Follies. Hopefully, others in Cambria will fill us in on more of the details.
We have been situated about 10 miles outside of Rapid City, SD for a week now. The RV park is still pretty populated, but we expect that it will thin out in the coming week as many RVers' vacations are over.
Starting tomorrow, we will be renting a car and visiting the sites, including Crazy Horse, Mount Rushmore at dusk, Sitting Bull's Cave, Deadwood, Cosmos Mystery area, Keystone, Needles Highway and the various lakes in the mountains. As we do so, we will post the pictures of what we see on this blog.
As a side note, while Jerry still continues his running program, I have taken to seriously riding our 3-wheel bike with Chanti in the basket and getting in some good exercise. Soooo, I am moving up to a 2-wheel bike (designed for people who have not been on a bike for years, but remember the fun they had as children). The difference between these bikes and the ones manufactured for the last years, is that we sit straight up (handle bars are high), sit on wider seats and can put our feet on the ground when we stop without having to jump off of the seat. I won't get my new bike until we get to Minot, ND at the end of this month, and am looking forward to getting it.
No pictures are attached this time, but get prepared for many in the coming weeks. We want to show you America just in case you haven't been to the places we visit. Until then, we hope all of you are loving the life you live. Jerry and Mary
