September 27, 2009 Trip to Rapid City

What a day! A cold front came through and the 60 degree temperature we woke up to was the high for the day. It only dropped into the low 50s, but the high winds made it pretty miserable.

We decided it would be a good day to do the laundry and go to Rapid City for some needed shopping. Our plan to go to visit a couple of the caves in the area today fell to the assumption that all the weekenders up here would decide to do the same thing to get out of the wind.

So we did laundry all morning (it had been a long time since we did laundry), then headed to the Big City for lunch and an afternoon of Target, WalMart, a Mall, and Cabela's.

The high point of the trip was the site of this herd of Big Horn Sheep that was helping with the lawn maintenance at a house just on the outskirts of Rapid City. So much for all the time we spend in the "wildlife viewing areas"!





And to wrap it up, a new record for the Pelicanlady World Famous Collection of Wildlife Butts -- the Whole Herd!


Cave visits, more scenic tours, and maybe Mt Rushmore tomorrow.

Love to you all.
