Yes, we are still alive

Life is great in the Black Hills. We've been busy doing "stuff" and I have just been a slacker at keeping the blog updated. Last week, we did a lot of geocaching with Rick and Y. There was one that was a Did Not Find but the guys couldn't let it stand as the first defeat so the next day we went back and the cache was found.

We made a trip to Rapid City on Tuesday and had a hang out day on Wednesday playing cards/games as it was cold and rain threatened all day.

The number of campers coming in to the park has really slowed down so there really wasn't much to do on my work shifts. John work shifts included finishing up staining some decks and painting picnic tables - nothing to difficult.

We saw Rick and Y pull out this morning. It was with mixed emotions seeing them leave. We have thoroughly enjoyed their company these past two months so will miss hanging out with them but on the other hand, excited that they are off on new adventures. . . after all, that is what this lifestyle is all about. Safe travels you two! We will hopefully see you down the road in Colorado. Must admit, we are getting a bit of hitch itch what with Rick and Y leaving, Michelle and Steve are leaving tomorrow to head down towards the Ozarks, and the other workampers are all contemplating their departures. Unless the weather drastically changes, we will stay here for the Buffalo Roundup on Sept. 28 and leave on the 29th.

Had a nice chat with Melissa and then Rick and Y who gave us a call via Skype - amazing technology and it's free! A nice ending to a another wonderful day.
