It has been a busy few days in South Dakota. We arrived safely at Pamela's cousin Virginia's just east of Rapid City on July 3rd and had a good visit with Virginia and Floyd, and had a good meal. On July 4th, we decided to keep it low key and avoid the crowds. Virginia did take us downtown to the art gallery that she works at, and we visited a sweet shop and looked at all the presidential statues that are all over down town. It is a neat downtown area, and it was a good visit.
We were able to plug the RV in to 30 amp electric and water at Virginia's daughters just next door, so we saved ourselves the expense and hassle of getting a campground. On July 5th, we drove East to Aberdeen, South Dakota, which is in the northeast part of the state.

Along the way from Rapid City to Aberdeen, we stopped at a cemetery in Faulkton, South Dakota (population 736) to view some of the family grave sites for the Finney's. As a result of the diversion, we arrived at our campground around dark. We had a leisurely Saturday off, did some shopping and kept cool in the South Dakota heat (around 90 degrees).

On Sunday, we attended a Finney cousin (and a lot more) reunion in Aberdeen and then spent some time with Pamela's Cousins Virginia and Dorothy and their husbands. We got back to the campground before dark and are set up for the night once again.
Tomorrow, we will drive south into Iowa on our way towards Kansas and a visit with Neil's Aunt Louise in Topeka. All is well except for a pesky tire leak that we have to keep an eye on. We will have it looked at by a tire shop in Topeka. Neil is pretty sure that it is one of the metal valve extensions he put on in Oregon that isn't sealed up properly. We will have it repaired or replaced so we don't have to worry about it.
Thanks for visiting,
