BACK IN SOUTH DAKOTA FOR ONE DAY

WE WERE  BACK IN SOUTH DAKOTA AFTER THREE  YEARS! WE GOT DARRELL'S DRIVERS LICENSE RENEWED IN 2012.

WE WERE SURPRISED TO SEE EVERYTHING SO GREEN HERE, USUALLY BY THE MIDDLE OF JULY, THE RAIN HAS STOPPED AND EVERYTHING IS BROWN.

THE CROPS LOOKED GOOD TOO, I KNOW SOUTH DAKOTA HAS GOTTEN A LOT OF RAIN THIS YEAR.

YEP, WE KNEW WE WERE BACK IN SOUTH DAKOTA.......COWS!!

WE HAVE RESERVATIONS AT YOGI BEAR CAMPGROUND IN SIOUX FALLS FOR ONE NIGHT. TUESDAY MORNING I WAS GETTING MY DRIVER'S LICENSE RENEWED, BUT, WE NEEDED A PAID RECEIPT FOR ONE NIGHT'S STAY IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

THE REASON WE STAYED HERE IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A HOT TUB! AS SOON AS WE GOT SET UP, WE WENT TO THE HOT TUB. DARRELL  FOUND AN RV PARK IN GRANITE FALLS, MINNESOTA, AT A CASINO WHERE WE CAN HANG OUT FOR A WEEK. IT IS A COUPLE OF HOURS FROM ST. CLOUD. I CALLED TO GET RESERVATIONS FOR A WEEK, SEAN CALLED ME BACK TO SAY HE DIDN'T HAVE A SITE OPEN FOR SEVEN DAYS STRAIGHT. HERE WE GO AGAIN....... I CALLED SEAN BACK TO SAY, YES WE WOULD TAKE A FULL HOOK-UP SITE FROM TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, MOVE TO AN ALL ELECTRIC SITE FOR THE WEEKEND AND THEN BACK TO A FULL HOOK UP SITE. WE WEREN'T THRILLED ABOUT THE MOVING, BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?
THE NEXT MORNING WE WERE UP EARLY TO GET TO THE DRIVER'S LICENSE BUREAU. I WANTED TO BE FIRST IN LINE.

I WAS SECOND IN LINE, IT ONLY TOOK 23 MINUTES TO GET MY LICENSE.

AND IT IS  GOOD UNTIL 2020!

 WE LEFT SIOUX FALLS  AT 10:30. I DROVE TO GRANITE FALLS. IT FELT GOOD TO DRIVE AGAIN!
