One Less Pheasant In South Dakota


Day 39 Chamberlain SD to Omaha NE
320 miles

We just can't seem to get a warm day , seems everywhere we go, a cold front comes through. Everyone tells us that it's been a cold, wet spring in this part of the country.

We left the campground on the Missouri River around 9:00 and had no plans to stop anywhere except to get gas and have lunch. I'm still wondering where these people who live so far away from towns get groceries?


We went through areas with a great many pheasants, ONE had the misfortune of trying to fly across the road just as we were cruising by....at 70mph. It wasn't pretty, a fact we discovered when we stopped for gas a couple of hours later, yuk.

We're in Omaha visiting with Jim's brother and wife. Very nice neighborhood....Let's hope the neighbors don't think we're Clark Griswold's relatives 's, Cousin Eddie's family.

It's a big house, but seems even bigger after living in our '30 foot box' for so long!

Tomorrow Jim finally gets to play some golf, he's been having golf withdrawal, bad.

And *I* will have some female companionship with my sister in law, yea!
