We haven't been doing too much the last couple of days. Doug had the urge to pick up rocks so we took a ride south through the towns of Rockerville, Hill City and Custer to an area called French Creek. It turned out to all be national forest where nothing can be removed. Oh well, a pretty drive with no pictures.
Then we spent some time going through closets and drawers eliminating piles of stuff that we have accumulated. The coach is approaching it's weight limit for the back axle and we need to lighten the load. It's difficult for Doug to part with treasures but he was ruthless. There's still more to do but we feel much lighter.
A weather front blew through during the day and tried to take out our garden. One of the poles went down, dumping the large tomato plant on the ground and throwing a lantern on top of the strawberry plants. We rushed outside to rescue everything but lost a couple of branches on the tomato that were loaded with green tomatoes.
Our tall cactus was also tipped over. It seems to be ok now that Doug replanted it. What a mess! Next year we'll grow tomatoes upright in pots, not in Topsy Turvy upside down planters. They are too heavy and awkward.
Tomorrow we'll be moving again. We're going north a little ways to the Sturgis/Deadwood area to do some sightseeing.
