This is morning it was again chilly with a temperature of 47 degrees and again foggy. The fog burned off quickly and then we had clear blue skies. Of course it was beautiful. We had to leave today.

Today was a travel day from Theodore Roosevelt National Park to Storm Mountain Center (SMC) - near Rapid City, SD. Some of you will remember that we stopped at SMC on the way to Alaska in May. We spent almost 2 weeks here at that time helping the with various projects and enjoying the great people and location. The drive was in great weather until we had almost arrived and then it looked rather stormy. The rain held off until we were parked and set up so that was nice. Part of the day with the sun coming in the windshield we had to drive with the air conditioner on. That was only about the second time this summer we have used the air conditioner. We really couldn't get but a couple of pictures today because we were each driving since we don't have the replacement tow bar yet. Hopefully tomorrow.
The drive was through primarily flat farm country with an occasional hill. They were growing sunflowers, hay, corn and some other crops we couldn't identify. The small towns seemed even further apart today with miles and miles of farm land. We also herds of cattle and flocks of sheep. Also saw several groups of pronghorns.

It was great to arrive back here at Storm Mountain. It was almost like coming home since this was the last place we spent time before leaving the lower 48. It was great to see Steve and Pink and Ashley again. Scott is away on a trip right now. We will miss seeing him.
We have no cell phone coverage here most of the time.
