Pete n Holly's World

These are the last pictures of our Last Day of our tour of South Dakota. Tess was our scout as we were on the hunt for Buffalo. We looked and looked. And finally we ..... We found Tatanka! It was a nice highlight. Today is also our last day in North Dakota. We will spend today packing up the Uhaul and Lord Willing we well hit the road tomorrow. One of us was up VERY early to get the day started. The other one of us preferred to sleep a little longer...........

We spent the last week touring South Dakota Badlands, Mt Rushmoore, Deadwood, and Theodore Na. Park. Fun was had by all. Since we were camping of course it rained.

The rains have stopped for at least the last two weeks. We still get amazing cloud formations. Now the plague comes in the form of biting GNATS. They swarm your head and into your eyes and ears. Then they bite you mercilessly. The bites swell and itch and cause you to look forward to moving! The Lord has been good and faithful to answer prayers and our lot and trailer have sold. Yesterday we sold Pete's little work truck. Good-bye little truck. Holly was a little sad to see it drive away. We have a few more items to sell and then I think we will be set.
