On Thursday we ventured out on our first epic road trip. Our destination is the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Our first night we spent at an 1880's homestead without electricity or running water....
which was the perfect start as we are stepped back in time, living like Laura Ingalls Wilder..
It was a great first night in the heart of the Badlands but our homestead was a bit low on the riverside which made things a bit buggy with mosquitos and horseflies but we had a cool evening, good sleeping weather.
Before bed we spent our time reading books and perusing through the Sears & Roebuck catalog of 1902.
Such a perfect evening!...and the family we stayed with even had some burro's!
Our entire trek across two states took us through Walnut Grove and De Smet along old highway 14 where Laura Ingalls lived. The museum in Walnut Grove was great but by the time we got to De Smet we were rather rode wiry and ready to be settled so we just stopped for a picnic lunch and skipped the one hour tour.
