Day 17. Morning. Sturgis, SD

It's a nice sunny day with a high of 84 forecasted for the area.

We'll be heading out about 9:15, stopping at a RV service place in Rapid City to have the tires rotated and maybe fix the water line leak. Also need to get groceries and stop at the bank to get cash and quarters for laundry machines.

There was a wild turkey roaming the campground at first light this morning. At least, I think it was a turkey, difficult to ID in low light and fog. Could have been a little kid with spindly legs and a severe back problem and a speech impediment. I'm kidding about the speech impediment: the alleged turkey did not a gobble make.

Gotta find a place to wash the rigs soon cuz they're filthy from the rain and sanded roads coming out of CO, and short stretches of gravel roads here and there. We need a pressure wash place with a high ceiling bay for the RV, couldn't find one in Sturgis but Rapid City should have one.

  1. Hope the rigs behave better than Ranger after a bath.

    I was in Rapid City for a few days a few years ago. Wheaton College has a Summer Science program there, and Lindsay attended to get all her science credits over with, geology trips by day and star-gazing by night. That is the only time I've seen Mt. Rushmore, that trip.
