Hi all..........one more time trying to post this! This site is not working well.........very frustrating. Oh well. We're here in Miller, SD. This state is one of huge open lands........farms are massive.........you can't see another house for miles. This is pheasant country for sure. You see them in the cornfields........on fences......running along the roads. And when you can't see them, you hear them. We could hear a rooster last night while we sat around a fire. No wonder pheasant hunting is so big here.

Our park here is very pretty, with large sites and a 125 acre lake on it. Actually, it's a dammned up creek, and hooks up to another lake we're told. We want to get out on it with our boat today if we can........the winds here have been fierce, 40-50 miles an hour, so we haven't done it yet.

On the way out here, we saw hundreds of windmills, out on the ridges. As far as the eye could see in some places. Amazing. Maybe they were windmill farms, if there is such a thing. And those windmills are huge......lots of wind going on here! The prettiest thing here I think are the acres of long grass...........undulating in waves, as if on the sea. Dancing and waving as if in some orchestrated movement. It's just stunning to see it. Tony and I have mentioned it many times now, when we see that happen.

We're off to Pierre SD on Tues, to Cow Creek rec area. That is on the Missouri river and we hope to get in some good fishing there. After that, off to the Black Hills and the Badlands. Should be fun.

Bye all.........we'll see you on the road.

Love.........Kath
