I'd like to say that after two busy months, things are slowing down. But I only got a week to rest a bit, then we had to leave for Sturgis in South Dakota.
It took a while, but everyone got packed and we loaded the trailers. We Made arrangements for people to take care of our livestock. We picked up Emily Duke, a volunteer from Florida, at the Denver airport. Since my birthday was the day before we left, we had a small party, then went to bed to get ready for the next day. Yesterday we got up at 5 AM. Mr. Bulldog and Mrs. Tami were at our house almost before the sun was up, along with another friend, Mr. Richie. We set off with our little RV carrying a small trailer, our large truck carrying a large trailer, and I rode with Mr. Richie in his car.
It was a very long trip. There wasn't much to look at for a while, either because we were in Eastern Colorado, which is pretty much just flat plain after flat plane. But I had fun talking and was able to relax for a while.
We had a bad storm just before crossing into South Dakota that forced us to stop at a Walmart until it passed. Luckily, we were only delayed a half hour or so.
We finished the rest of the trip without trouble. We got to the South Dakota church and got parked. Most of us took our sleeping bags and mattresses into some of the church's rooms and slept there after a good dinner.
Today was pretty relaxed. There is not much of a schedule and we have a day to get ready for the actual beginning of Sturgis. I expect good things from this year and think we will have lots of kids. It will be hard to keep going n our hardest event for a week, but I know it will be worth it.
