The land of 11,000 lakes

It was time for us to start our trip back so we decided to make our way through the Indian reservation to Wounded Knee and then on to the same campground in MN that we stayed at on the way out.  You won't find any pictures of Wounded Knee because we only stopped for a second and didn't even make it out of the truck before we were accosted by people trying to sell us little trinkets.  It is really sad to see the state of what should be a hallowed place that holds the story of a part of American history that should not be forgotten barely represented and neglected.  So sad.

I chose the headline for this post because of the state of things that we found when we arrived at our campground in MN.  While we were gone they got a TON of rain.  Many sites were flooded, they warned us that they couldn't mow because the mower got stuck in the mud a couple of times and OMG the bugs.  We drove through swarms of bugs on the way there and Chappy will need a big bath when we get home.  I didn't take any pictures because I was tired, making dinner, and ready to pass out when we got there and by the time I had gotten my second wind, it was dark.

I will say that the dog park that is pictured below was under about 4 inches of water so the Donk did her biddness in our site instead, which was probably good because her hip has been really bothering her, poor girl.

The dog park on our way out was dry!
