21 September 2014 – Sunday
Ellen had showered the night before, we had a leisurely
‘get-up’ and got the camper ready for travel.
Keith showered and we took off toward Hot Springs. We stopped at the Wind Cave National Park and
spent and hour or so there touring the visitor center and watched a movie on
the park and the cave. We did not tour
the cave but we did get to see our first close up look at Bison.
Hot Springs wasn’t very far south and as we drove through it
didn’t seem to be as interesting as we’d hoped.
We drove on to our destination at the Angostura Recreational Area and
found a great campsite on the waterfront.
It seemed too hot to take a run/hike in the sun so we drove
back in to Hot Springs to see what attracts the tourists. We didn’t find much, but we did go in to the
“Evans Plunge” to see the pool. If we
had a bunch more time, we might have spent the money to get ‘invigorated’. Instead, we found the “Freedom Trail” along
the river and took a leisurely 3-mile walk.
It was nice and it was a break (it’s flat).
We went back to the camper for an early supper of
Johnsonville Brats.
Tomorrow we plan to head over to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation
near Oglala. The ladies of our church in
Wisconsin work all winter to make quilts to send to them. We know some of the people there and want to
go and meet them.
It was a nice and easy day………
