Here we are in The Wenatchee National Forest,Washington. We are currently being held hostage by massive armys of unusualy large and fierce mosquitos. Our new plan.....never plan on staying longer than one night until the first night goes well.Anyway, it has afforded me time to learn how to watch the news and other shows I've been missing on the internet because on occasion, I do have internet and not T.V.I finaly saw The Hells Kitchen final episode today.What can I say about South Dakota ? I guess they don't call it the great plains for nothing.When about a 1/4 of the way through the state I read a map that said the population was approx.745000. i asked Ricky if that could be a typo because that is also the approx. size of the syracuse area.About 1/2 way through the state I realized it was true. There are truly no people there. Rapid City was a welcome sight as they have a Wallmart and we needed supplies. Oh yah, for those of you that dont know yet, I broke my foot while walking the dogs in Sioux City,Iowa.Its not severe,just the two small bones that are in front of or behind,if you will, the two smallest toes.It is getting better now, that was two and a half weeks ago. I can walk a little now.Ricky had to get me a wheelchair at Mt.Rushmore and Wall Drug. That was a bummer. He also has had to do all of the dog walking lately. thats alot of dog walking for one person.Speaking of Mt. Rushmore, we were a little dissapointed. call me unpatriotic thats ok. I was expecting to be wowed. It is much smaller than I had anticipated.I was feeling as duped as the two teenage girls standing in front of me kicking rocks and pulling on their bubble gum.Oh Well, I guess national Monuments aren't my thing.We headed out to Devils Tower,Wyoming in the morning trying not to get too enthusiastic so we didn't get let down again.I gotta tell ya,We rounded a bend and went "whooooaaahhhh". Its that cool.Its really big,strange colors,quite erie,and seems to have a dark presence about it.Large buzzard type birds fly around the top even.Ricky asked me if I wanted to stay at the campground there and I told him he was out of his mind.I wasn't even staying there after dark!! We enjoyed some awsome national Forests in Montana,oh yah,and spent way toomuch money at The Springs Bath House in Hot Springs,South Dakota.But after days of nothing but grass to look at the full body scrubs and massages made it all better.We are on to Seattle Washington for a while.We might stay a while so I dont know for sure when we will make it to your house Boni.I'll call you this weekend and keep you posted. Thats all for now,we miss you all and if anyones sees Kiel, give him a big kiss and hug for me.Love tami and ricky
