We are in South Dakota, near Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills, Hill City to be exact. It is freaking cold here- about 50 something and the altitude is high... but after a day of driving in the rain, I was glad to see that it is a lovely clear sunny day.

The family is sleeping while I post and read email. We are in ( Read more... )
