2020 Trip To South Dakota

[JEBar]

apparently the weather gods didn't get the message this morning .... shortly after daylight an unexpected thunder storm rolled in and the updated forecast said it would depart our area and be replaced by mostly sunny sky by 9AM .... well, its almost 11AM, the sky is still dark, over us and to the west thunder is still rumbling, and rain is still coming down .... it had gotten pretty dry and more rain has fallen this morning than at any other time since we arrived here in June .... with a beautiful corn crop filling the ears, this morning's rain is a major blessing

[JEBar]

its hard to believe that only 9 days from now we are scheduled to head back home .... with recharging one of our water softeners and getting it ready for storage, our slow process of breaking camp has begun .... plans for tomorrow include trap shooting and a family goodby gathering with some of my wife's family

Are you not going to KC ?

[JEBar]

Are you not going to KC ?

absolutely .... our plan is to head south on Monday after next (the 17th) and get to KC on the 18th .... we should be there shooting on the 19th & 20th before heading St Louis on the 21st for a shooting on the 22nd

OK...when you said head back home, I figured that included a stop in KC. Just wanted to know if it was still part of your route. ...enjoy!!!

COVID and some other things have understandably reduced our number for the gathering .... Evan and I still plan to meet, shoot and enjoy some fine KC BBQ

Have a cold one for me, and BBQ sounds good.

Regret that I can't join you guys...

it would be great to have a bunch of folks .... as can be seen in Evan's thread, he's just developed some complications from his hip replacement .... for him to turn things around is our first priority

Please keep us informed...Evans' health is paramount!
