Two Stops

July 14 and 15

This is what we call camping somewhere to get somewhere else.  Today we headed south from Duluth to hook up with Interstate 90 and go west to the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, etc.  However all that good stuff is way far away from Duluth.  

We choose a campground south of Minneapolis/St. Paul on Hwy 35 about 13 miles from hitting Interestate 90.  Two things were important: they claimed to have internet at every campsite (also laundry facilities) and there was a golf course near by for Glen to play.

The internet was stellar!  We made reservations for the next 3 nights!  Also, Debbie got to relax at camp while Glen played golf….doing laundry?  Really?  What is up with that.  Clearly I dont have a hold on what it means to have a retired husband.  

We left that humble abode (after the laundry was dry) and made it to where we sit.  Just inside the South Dakota border off 90 at a little State Park in Brandon S.D. 

Glen has already started the afternoon ritual of chopping wood for the campfire.  We are both praying the wind will hold up to keep the mosquitos at bay.  We are on our third can of extra strength,  highly toxic, DEEP WOODS OFF.  We will be radio active by the time we get home.  

Tomorrow we begin some more sight seeing.  First Badlands National Park….we can’t wait. 

Glen was excited to grill a pork loin on the campfire.

Elijah, does this look about right?

Ahh, a great day on the links!

Ahh, a great day in the laundry room?
