Being held back by the weather for a few days lit a spark under us and today we decided we would tackle both Mount Rushmore and Crazy horse in the same day. Once again the weather stepped in and made the job pretty easy, the wind was wild and cold when we were at Rushmore and made it hard to even keep the camera up on it's tripod. The leftover snow had the presidential trail closed so we were limited in what we could see but we did see the mountain.
Crazy horse was nice as I remember it. It is great to see the progress that has occurred in the time since I was last there. I also love the museum and the history that they present.
With time left over we did eat lunch at the game lodge in Custer State park and follow that up with a ride through the loop to see the Buffalo. It was a great day and I feel as though we actually accomplished something we had set out to do.
We had a great two weeks in Michigan. It was nice to visit family and friends although extremely hectic since I only took 1 day off during the time. It seems we were constantly busy, going places to visit people, having people stop by, or driving. Still it was a good time. Plans from here? Well, we've decided to cancel our annual Gettysburg trip again. This time it seems that there is just too much to do in preparation to leave again for AZ, so we've decided to stick around. The Covid would limit what we can safely do too much for us to go this year. We will however, still be making our trip back to Michigan in October, immediately followed by our return trip to AZ! More to come as we get closer. Karen and her Mom chilling at camp Tyler We had a special visitor! Sunset behind us lights up the tops of the trees Puppy Tax. No it's not ours. My Buddy Shannon and his family just got this cutie. She's adorable.
It's not even been two entire weeks and I miss Chappy. Since we took him out to the summer campground I've been really wanting to go out there and this long holiday weekend is the perfect time. The site that we were put at is very nice. It has a deck that was made by the last residents and it works perfectly for us. We'll be heading out there after I get done with work and I can't wait to sit on the deck and enjoy the fire pit tonight with a cold beer and maybe my pipe.
Sorry for the long delay in updating here. There has been a lot going on and we are gearing up for even more activity over the next month. So what has been happening? Well, the fun never stops that is for sure. Work activities aside we have been doing a decent amount of work around the house, but you'd never know by looking at it. A few weeks back we had a tree fall on the house. Luckily, there was no Major damage, just some gutters that still need to be put back up and a couple of scratches, and dents. The only real damage luckily was to my awesome Weber grill. Poor guy had a wheel bent over that now needs replaced, but with the weight of a large tree on him it is impressive that he just has a tiny dent otherwise and works like brand new. I'm no product spokesman for Weber, but they make an excellent, tough grill that lasts. Can't say that about my last Sams Club grill that rusted out completely in 3 years despite only moderat...
