Saturday we covered a little over 400 miles and the weather was great. Stopped at a KOA campground in MO. Got up on Sunday to heavy winds. I am VERY nervous. The wind throws the coach all over the road. I am hoping Doug will give in and stop early. We are already in SD (10 AM). However, we are still over 400 miles from Custer!!.
Doug finally stopped at 12:30 as the winds continued to gust at 40-45 mh. Stayed at Lake Vermillion State Park. We have stayed there three times on our trips to and from Custer. It is a very nice campground. However, the winds came off the lake and rocked us all night long.
Woke up to sunny clear and calm weather. Made it to Custer State Park early afternoon Monday, May 2nd. It is good to be back.
We took a couple of days to settle in and started work Thurs. May 5th.
Doug decided that instead of bending over to get the pinecones out of the yard he would hit them out to the other side of the road. We sent to our favorite thrift store and he got a golf club. I am sure anyone who plays golf and watches him will br very amused as he knows nothing about golf!!! Thought you all would enjoy his form!!!
After all the work Doug has done over the years here to make our spot nice with a stone wall, he has decided that we cannot fit our screen room in this site, so we are going to be moving to another spot. I do think it will be better for us. I won’t have the view of “my mountain”, but I think we will see more wildlife and the site will be better for us.
Today, Sat. May 14th he is out there moving fire wood that he has collected. It is quite a bit to move. The weather is in the 30’s and we have been having snow flurries!!! Have decided not to put up the screen room until we return after our trip home for Nicholas’ graduation. By-the-way, he got accepted to NYU’s Film School. He is extaticc. However his parents are struggling with the cost and how to pay it!!! His grandparents are struggling the idea of him being in NY and so far away!!!
