I can almost see Minnesota from here. Well, not really as we are barely across the border and have a long day and then a short day of driving to get home (I know, some folks would do it in a day, but we are no longer 25). We are on the edge of the Black Hills, not high enough for it to be really cool at night, but cooling nicely after a hot day. It was stormy when we went to bed last night, but not raining. I left the hatch over our bed open and most of the windows. I run a sound machine at night and last night it was set to the rain sound. I woke up and thought - the water noise that I am hearing is louder than the sound machine. I jumped up and stuck my hand under the hatch. No rain. But the water sound was loud. I turned off the sound machine - still a loud water sound. I went down the stairs to the kitchen fearing a huge leak in our sink. No. I looked outside at our water connection - no water, but the sound was louder. Then I saw a huge geyser coming out of the grass - missing sprinkler head. It wasn't spraying our car or RV so I went back to bed. Thank goodness, no more problems.
In the morning I went out to look at the sprinkler problem and ran into a peacock. Yup! A giant green bird walking peacefully around the campground. He hopped up on the picnic table. I went over to a nearby family to tell them to come see it. First I had to admire the giant green bug they had on their tent. Yuck.We drove long and hard today to get to South Dakota. We are in a campground only a mile off the freeway, but it is very quiet and secluded. It has been a peaceful evening on our second to the last night of this trip. It is nice to have a few glorious last days to such a wonderful trip.
