We have spent a lot of time in the car the past two days but did manage to revisit Mount Rushmore and the Badlands. We have enjoyed seeing a lot of wildlife - new to our list were the mountain goats we met at Mount Rushmore.Fellow tenters are fewer and fewer; it is chiefly us and the behemoths.
After an interesting and sobering tour of the Minuteman Missile site in South Dakota, we have seen miles of Nebraska sand hills while visiting the Niobrara and Missouri scenic river sites.
The Adventures of Super Grandpa: The dinosaur Grandpa found in Odgen, UT has followed him all the way to Rapid City and Wall Drug. Grandpa has named her Freda. He has grown quite attached to her and would like to find her a good home. He knows that Beth and Ken Burrow have an extra bedroom so has thought that he could take her as far as Iowa. Manga (Grandma) is proud of Grandpa's ability to bond with dinosaurs but believes that the Burrow's lawn is too small to feed a dinosaur. She has asked Wall Drug to look after Freda but does not know if Freda will be content to stay there without Grandpa.

My first post didn't take (Don't know why) I just wanted to let you know that Waverly City Ordinances ban the keeping of dinosaurs. Too bad we don't live on the farm because that would have been a great home for Freda. WE are leaving shortly for Algona. We'll see you in a few hours.
We got your package today...some very fun things! Thank you! We love the eagle puppet and is it a real dinosaur tooth? Very cool! The children of Room 3 are going to freak their freaks. Libby was a very cute elephant in Jungle Book yesterday. Grandy and Andy are there tonight for the second show while Theo and I stay home. He has had a wonderful week! Libby will audition for Godspell on Tuesday. Have fun in Iowa. XOSarah
