Our last week in SD was a mixture of work, playing golf and getting ready for the trip back home to TX. BV helped Tim with some concrete work around the aquarium and Jac finished the photo display in the hatchery ... it was an exciting project.... ending up with 60 transparencies with photos showing & documenting various aspects of hatchery operations.
Other fun activities included a nice lunch with the staff at their local Mexican food restaurant; an afternoon social at the trailer complete with bbq pheasant - courtesy of Craig - salsa, chips and refreshments; one last golf outing (BV still beat me, oh well but I played better); picking fresh sweet corn; canning & freezing the final garden gifts and just visiting !
Everyone hunts and fishes, but Jeff has the arsenal in his basement...... just had to take a picture of all the elk horns ! The full sets, like the one BV is holding are actual elk he has taken.
See the temperature ??? The morning we left - Aug 31 - it was 42 when we got up. Would you believe BV turned on the heat in the trailer....... it warmed up tho and by the time we drove out it was 54 !!!
So..... out of our summer RV spot we pull and on the road
we are again.... this time back to TX ! What a fabulous experience..... thank you ... to everyone at Gavin's Point !
Since we were psyched to get on the road..... we drove 642 miles that day....... crazzzzzyyyyy !!! Stayed in Norman, OK in the parking lot of the Riverwind Casino. Of course, played some but didn't win or lose. Tues got up and drove only 100 miles to Thackerville, OK just on the TX border. This was a planned stop at a new RV site. Wed we drove on home..... hot, hot hot !!!
All is well at home, got the 5th wheel backed up behind the house ... truck was tired and wanted to rest !!! Next few days unpacked, did chores, yard work etc. Had a bbq with the neighbors as they welcomed us back and we all got caught up on the news. The margaritas were yummy... I had more than just one..... then on Sunday we had a get together with my Mom, the girls n guys & grandkids at the house. Was great to be with them all..... Kyleigh, Cohen & Abby all are growing and we hope when it gets cooler to get them out with us camping !!
Next year ?????? Who knows ?????? Utah, Idaho, Colorado ............ we're already checking out our options and getting info from various locations !!!
We have some plans & activities for the fall & winter..... so while I won't be posting a lot of blogs..... stay in touch and check back periodically.
