Stamp & Camp with Mary Update July 8, 2019


June 30, 2019 KOA Madison and Jackson MN

Well set off early this morning it is a travel day.  I had the truck and Don had the RV.  Was a pretty easy drive all on I 90  we did run into a little wind well for awhile a lot of wind.  But just a little rain even though it looked so bad out there. 

Got to the KOA a little after 1 PM.

Not a bad campground they are not nearly full, they do have a bunch of long termers and permanent trailers set up. A couple a little dumpy.





Went swimming and took a nap after calling Meigan.

Was a very nice afternoon.

July 1, 2019  KOA Belvidere SD

Still on highway I 90 going across MN and SD  I drove the RV and Don drove the truck surely wish we only had 1 vehicle Saw a lot of things I wanted to tell Don about and share.

Got in the campground very small and a little old but nicely kept up.  I liked the sites some had very nice furniture.  The tent sites were amazing.  Don liked that they sold beer and wine.  Quiet and comfortable.  The internet was really good and they had free cable. 






July 2, 2019 KOA Belvidere SD and Rushmore Shadows Resort Rapid City SD

Well the day started late we didn’t have very far to go so we slept in and then we stopped at the 1880 town which was at the exit we took for the KOA.  Was $12 for adults $10 for Seniors and it was well worth it.  Everything well at least 95% was original they either moved it to the town or they took it apart and moved it piece by piece.  A lot of the museum stuff was the same time period. Furniture, even the shoe boxes and chamber pots etc.  It was a great thing to just walk around and look at.  I could not believe how great it was.








We spent about 1.5 hours at the 1880 Town and then headed to Rapid City.  Stopped at the Walmart and then into Rushmore Shadows.  This is our home campground for our membership camping so we get it free when we stay.  IT is going to be really full so they limited us where we could choose from and we only had 4 sites.  I have to say none of them were nice.  The one we choose barely fit the RV and truck. The sewer and water where at the front of the site and not the back of the site. We have both front wheels off the ground to make it semi level. Love the area but when we were in a pop up it seemed we had more choices. 

This evening they had a Hoop and Native American Dance company do dance exhibit and it was great.  So beautiful and they explained it as they were doing it. Such grace and how they did it for so long was something to watch.





July 3, 2019  Rushmore Shadows

A quiet day though we did run down to the Safeway to get a few things we forgot.  Hung around the camper went for a walk or two. 
I did some work on the computer and made a card or two.

July 4th 2019 Rushmore shadows.
Well it was a very wet 4th rained most of the day.  So we were inside.  Not many fireworks tonight but a lot from mother nature. Don and I did play some Rummikub and watched some TV.  So a wet slow fourth of July.


July 5th Rushmore Shadows.
Went to drive to Newcastle today to look at a jeep.  They had some older Buicks that I fell in love with a 41 and a 47 was almost the same price as the jeep but I didn’t get any, no one around.

We then stopped at Jewell Cave I got my passport book stamped but no tours available for the rest of the day.  Oh well.  Beautiful drive and then we stopped at Hill City to walk around.  We found a place that did some wood routing and ordered a sign.
Then we headed back to the campground for the afternoon rain showers.

That evening Rushmore Shadows had a huge campfire and S’mores.


July 6th 2019 Rushmore Shadow Saturday.

Today went back to Hill City to get out sign but they were not done with it.  Did get Meigan a Elephant Key Chain Purse that was at the Handbag Store




Then went to Prairie Berry Winery and got our Red Ass Wine (Rhubarb Wine).  Was a fun day. of course there was afternoon rain but then it was a nice evening and we went for a walk.

Hope you all hada  great week.
