Rolled into the RV park in Sturgis about 11:30 a.m. Filled the propane tank and settled in for the weekend. There was a little snow left from last night, and it had some very strange tracks in it. We discovered later, as we were sitting eating lunch, that the tracks belong to a group of rather large turkeys! (the feathered type) There were five of them, and I would guess that they are in the 20 pound range.
We took a drive into Spearfish for provisions (that's pioneer talk) just in case we are stuck here for a few days. Got enough food for three days and a bottle of rum.
We have 5 TV channels here with clear pictures. The last couple of parks we only got 2 or 3 channels, and they were not very clear. So as I write this, I am looking out at a very heavy snowfall, drinking a rum & coke, and watching the Dodger/Phillies game. The only problem is that I can't find my damn hat, and it's 8 to 5 Phillies in the 7th. (Sorry Ron)
Looking at the weather forecast, it looks like we will not get out of here before Monday, and it may be Tuesday. I knew I should have bought those Christmas lights for the motorhome!
We should have plenty of time for the blog, Ernie

So here we are at the "Rush No More RV Park" (really, that's the name of this place!). We are pretty much in the country, about a mile off Interstate 90, which we have been driving on since leaving Chicago. I am looking out at a very wintry scene; this place is tucked away in the mountain foothills and is very scenic and peaceful. The hills around us are covered in snowcapped pine trees and there is a horse and llama in the corral about 100 feet from where the RV is parked. It is a strange feeling to be in a place where we are the only occupants except for the park caretakers and maybe one other RV somewhere in the distance. It's like having a cabin in the woods! The first day of our trip way back on Aug. 15 was 107 degrees and now close to our last day it's near or at freezing. We are very close to Mt. Rushmore but there is supposed to be a foot of snow in the Black Hills where that is located, so we probably won't go there. We went there years ago but it would be a different view with snow on top of the President's visages. So our adventure continues with all its twists and turns. Merry Christmas...Joyce

well I dont think you avoided the snow that well guys!!! It looks like Christmas in october, Keith said to take 85 to I70, he said you might not get any snow that way. Sheila
Wow!!! It does look like christmas.
I don't mean to rub it in but we are sitting here with the windows open running the attic fan.
I work with a guy who went to Sturgis for some motorcycle rally. He claims it was a real experience. I saw some pictures and I can't believe what some people wear (or don't wear)in public.
Ron's not feeling very well, his Dodgers are not doing well and Oklahoma lost to Texas today in football. We are in mourning. Our flag is half staff.
We have plenty of sunshine here, we will try to send some your way. By the way, do you have any umbrellas for your drink?
Stay warm, dry and safe...Diane
I miss snow, and in 1989 it snowed 17 inches here in Myrtle Beach, so I'm hopeful.
