Well who would have thought that when Linda & Jake and us all decided to go camping in April in South Dakota we would have had, not one, but two blizzards! In fact, within the past week, we've hit THREE BLIZZARDS!! One in Colorado, then two in South Dakota. I'm pretty sure that it will snow regardless of whether we come out in January, April or August!!
Once they reopened the roads from the first South Dakota blizzard, we decided to stay at a nearby hotel in Rapid City since a second blizzard was forecast in another two days. The hotel was great with a beautiful indoor swimming pool, hot tub, arcade, bar and restaurant. Also, right outside the parking lot was a really cool 50's diner, with authentic 50's food and drinks.
In spite of all the snow, we still had a lot of fun. We ended up in Sturgis one night, went to an indoor water park, went out to dinner with Ellen, went bowling, went on a tour of a Black Hills Gold jewelry company, and just hung out. Unfortunately all the other education things that I had planned for the area were closed due to road closures.
