Greetings Moonies,
My family & I just got back from a 2 week trek through South Dakota. We camped in Custer State Park (west end of SD). While there we saw Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse Monuments - Mt Rushmore jpg.
More amazing was the wildlife - they have a Buffalo herd (about 1500 strong) that live there. My daughter got some great photos - Buffalo jpg.
Then we went to the eastern part of the state - to visit DeSmet and see a play about Laura Ingalls Wilder - and then over to Walnut Grove, MN for the same thing.
Heading back to Texas, we stopped in Topeka and visited with Barry - aka Ramsgate - jpgs of Ted and Barry - Barry Ted at Barry's Home & at Lake Shannee.
Also while there Barry & his lovely wife, Tanya, showed us around the Kansas state capitol building. Here is Barry in his natural enviroment - Barry Natural jpg - Barry is a wonderful photographer - and a natural teacher - he gave our daughter - who is very interested in photography - lots of great information and pointers about photography. We had a wonderful visit.
If you are ever in Topeka - make sure you link up with Barry - aka Ramsgate - he is a GRACIOUS host!
It's good to be back home!!
Regards from Texas,
Ted
