Sharp's Travels

It was a 9:45 departure this morning. The temperature was already up to 71 degrees.

We’re traveling on Hwy 212 and we go by a sign that says NO SHOOTING PRAIRIE DOG STUDY. On both sides of the road, you could see the prairie dog villages. We saw a number of them up on their hind legs looking the area over.

We also saw lots of antelope and a few deer grazing in the pastures along the highway, along with the cattle and sheep.

We stopped in Spearfish at Wal-Mart for groceries before heading to Rapid City. We pulled into our campground, Rushmore Shadows in Rapid City around 6pm. It was a long day and we were tired. The temperature did top out at 103 degrees.
