Whoa!!!  We're seeing more big hills with trees!!! Yesterday we drove south of here to Lead and Deadwood, SD which are 5,280' and more, and they had ski areas.  Real ones...not like the ones we saw in MI that were, to us, cross country areas.  But our friends there said they ski downhill.  No way..... Here in Spearfish, SD we are at 3,657' which is certainly more comfortable for us than the below 1,000' we have been in for most of the midwest!! And our humidity is 25% and below!  Yeah!!! That made our tour yesterday through Spearfish Canyon very nice.  The Canyon walls are close in and of the most interesting rock formations (Jeremy and Amber take note!!).  We also stopped at 3 waterfalls within the Canyon and took short hikes to visit them. And we had found a suprise spot to visit: the movie Dances with Wolves was partially filmed here and we found it!  I think it is the winter campsite near the end of the movie!! The meadow area is grown over, but the skyline is distinct.
