The morning started out at 57°, then we walked the koi ponds, back home to get bathing suits to go soak in the state hot spring pools (free).

As for the trip to Deadwood, it went well.

Well it was a great time with the wife and SIL seeing Rushmore, Sturgis before the rally and then up to Devils tower.

Other than the walking that required of the others.

Now to get them to get up early enough to do a trip up to Yellowstone and get back home in the same day.

Had just bought the senior National Park pass thingy, and they honored it at Devils Tower.

So there is $25 off the $85 purchase price.

But at Rushmore yo get a ticket you have to pay for at the entry machines and instead of $10 it's only $5 for 62 and over's.

About ten years ago, the park service had a deal on lifetime senior passes for $25. I bought one.

Sounds like you had a good time in SoDak. My grandson and I were in Thermop yesterday; spent the afternoon swimming, then went by Dairyland for slushies and ice cream. Thought about giving you and your lady a call, but it was only my second day back in the world after a couple of weeks of being sick, and at 5:00, I still had to drive home. One of these days...

The BH and I have ours as well. Good deals are only good if you get one.
