We Made It To Custer, South Dakota

We left Alliance about nine fifteen this morning and arrived here in Custer about twelve thirty…We saw the clouds gathering in the west and knew we should set up in a short time…We got everything set up and tried to take a nap…Then the rain came along with small hail…Here i sit watching and listening to the rain drops and hail bouncing off the motor home…It is not large enough to do any damage but it still makes us uncomfortable to hear the loud pops on the roof…I am looking out the window and the hail is about the size of a regular marble…I am wondering how long it will last…It has been going on for about ten minutes now and doesn’t seem like it is going to stop…It must be lightening up some because the satellite TV is trying to come back in…Would you believe it, the sun now is coming out and it is still raining…The hail has stopped, the sun is out, and it is raining very hard…We will get out later today and try to take some pictures of the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, Wind Cave National Park, and the land of Crazy Horse, Annie Oakley, and Wild Bill Hickok…Still raining and sun shinning…I love the history of this area…Will I guess I was born too late…Come to think of it, If I was born earlier, I probably wouldn’t be alive now…And I am surely enjoying life now…Well it probably took me this long to learn to be happy where ever I am…Talk to you later…Philip
