Mt Rushmore, Wind and Jewell Caves, Crazy Horse and whatever else time allows. Then to Deadwood. Two stops in Montana on the way over.

Re: 2020 Trip To South Dakota
if you pass near the Little Big Horn on the way, its well worth a stop .... be sure to listen to the Ranger's presentation prior to going out on the battlefield .... its a remarkable area

Re: 2020 Trip To South Dakota
Yes, our second Montana stop is the Little Big Horn, staying near Garyowen MT. Thanks for the tip on the Ranger Presentation, we’ll do that for sure.
Doesn’t it seem like all the work to get ready for a trip and then all the work waiting for you when you get home is the price paid for having a great time? Best to you with all your projects and your next trip.

Re: 2020 Trip To South Dakota
we've seen the Ranger who did our presentation on the History Channel ..... they do an excellent job of setting the scene in a way that makes seeing the area much more meaningful

Jim, as it turns out, we did pick up some white half runners here in Burnsville based on your comments.JEBar wrote: ↑Tue Aug 25, 2020 10:15 pmour morning began with driving from our campground to the Farmer's Market in Asheville where we picked up 2 bushels of white half runner green beans .... they are old time string and snap beans that my father raised and, for me, they are the only green bean I really enjoy
thank you for the tip. they ARE the best green beans I've ever had!!
Thanks for the tip!

Re: 2020 Trip To South Dakota
because they require both stringing and snapping, they do require a bit more effort to get ready to cook ... as noted, they are the beans my father raised in his garden .... so, they are the green beans I was raised on and have the taste I prefer
