Aren't the Black Hills the most wonderful spot to live and play?
My mother is from South Dakota, Rapid City to be specific. When I was still in high school, our family traveled back to South Dakota so mom could show us what she loved so much. As a matter of fact, my mom pumped water for the last troop of horse soldiers as they left the Black Hills. She still keeps in touch with the lady from the Crazy Horse Monument (there is a talented family <g>) .... We stayed at the Rafter J Bar Ranch and mother was so excited to find that it was indeed the old dairy that her family had sold on the move west! The head wrangler at the "dude" ranch was none other than a former foreman from a dairy down the road .... it was like old home week. That is indeed some BIG magnificent country! (and, the world gets smaller <g>)
