Four Presidents

---

Hello! We had our 1st real leisurely morning as Mass at Rose of Lima is only at 10 am. It was a pretty all wood church and had a very nice liturgy. We drove the short distance to Mt. Rushmore Natl Monument. It is quite spectacular with facial features and considerable detail. No dogs allowed so Timmy stayed in the motorhome and slept as he has been prone do doing. He loves traveling, but the last few days hasn't been able to digest his food. Picnicked roadside and went back into Hill City (a town much like Truckee). Our new mirror fell off,but didn't break. We stopped at the hardware store for some super, super glue. Keep your fingers crossed. We think of what's going on back home: Jeff's last performance as One Eyed Dick then he only has a week before setting sail to the far off corners of the globe, our fellow Lions will be busy at the MJF (hope it is a huge success with sausages and funnel cake how can you miss! We were about to go on a bike ride, but it started to sprinkle so did laundry instead. Neighbors at our campsite (grandpa, dad, and young son) have a trailer and a boat. Yesterday they caught their limit and we watched them cleaning 14" trout. Today when they returned they had a lively 15" one still wiggling and gave it to us. Our dinner plans quickly changed! So far, everyone we have met has been so friendly and helpful. We had planned to see Mt. Rushmore by night, but since it is sprinkling we have decided to stay put and watch an old movie "Rear Window." Tomorrow we drive across South Dakota on smaller roads and continue the adventure. We really have no plans beyond this point until Thanksgiving. Heard from Emily that it's bye, bye Bonds. Does this mean no kayaks in McCovey Cove? Enough for now I have a fish to fry! love, D, W, T.
