After the holiday back from trip

We left on early friday,the weather was suppost to be pretty good for the weekend in Rapid City SD. We got up there mid after noon and the wind was blowing like crazy, the KOA that we had reserved to stay at we found was in the middle of town and minimal trees around. We decited to stick with it and found a nice spot with trees. It ended up not to be to bad there but except for the traffic noise you could hear. We were gone most of the time from the campground so it worked out ok. Now the wind was an other story, we looked like key stone cops putting up the tents and so on. We found a really good resturant out side of town up twards Sturgis, the food was really good so was the service. It was nice to have a good meal after the long day of traveling and setting up.

The first day we went to a number of places, First I had to stop at the quilt shop I had seen the night before, The Quilt Connection, very nice well stocked store. I picked up a number of FQ's and a few books. Then we were off to Bear country, you drive threw part of it and then get out and walk. Many many animals to be seen, the wolf were hard to get a pix of, but the bears were right there to say hi. My favorite part was seeing the babys in the walk around area, most of the animals were out but a few were sleeping like the mountain lions. There were some newly born fox and bears, the river otters were so much fun to watch. Alot of my pix were taken the old fashion way with film, so when I get them developed I will be adding more pix.
The above pix are Jessica and Sean in front of the otter inclosure, me and Jessica in front of Mt Rushmore, and a Grizzley bear at bear country.
