August 28 - Chadron, NE to Hill City, SD



Barb - We didn't drive many miles today! We decided to spend a couple of days in the Black Hills and reserved two days' camping at the Rafter J Bar Ranch camp resort. It had been recommended by a friend from Marshalltown. What a great place! 5 different camp areas and plenty of grassy space and roads to walk the dog (who has discovered prairie dogs!) We sat out last night and watched the stars but had to find the wool blankets to stay comfortable - temps went down to the low 40s!

Ed - Driving about 120 miles is not difficult. We left at 10:00 AM and were parked and set up by 1:00 PM. Our current RV camping neighbors (who are full timing in their $400,000 Country Coach) suggested that we follow the 2's --- Drive no more than 200 miles in a day. Always arrive by 2:00 PM and always stay 2 days at each location. Seems like something we could do without any problem. Of course it would be nicer in a $400,000 RV!
