South Dakota Spearfish Canyon, Black Hills National Cemetery

 
We stayed in Sturgis and the area for a while and took a drive through the Spearfish Canyon. It was a nice drive, but I have to say I was disappointed to see a lot of the evergreens dying out. We stayed at the Sturgis RV Park and the Alkali Campground in the Fort Meade Recreation Area. I'll do a separate post and pictures of the campgrounds.

Happy 90th birthday Dad!

We arrived at North Park Campground in Dickinson, ND on August 10th, initially had reserved a spot for 2 weeks and ended up  staying there 3 weeks. We aren’t able to park at my dad’s house. We were having a 90th birthday party for my dad on the 16th and all of his children (only 4 of us) and grandchildren (12) are coming. Only missing are 2 of the grandchildren’s spouses. My dad had everything reserved, food ordered, etc. I think he was pretty excited.

  North Park Campground, $220/week, $34/night.
