Almost Heaven! The Black Hills of South Dakota!

This is the view out our "picture window" at the Rafter J Bar Mountain Resort. We are LOVING IT!!

Rupert gives his bark of approval, for there is real grass, not the pokey stuff, where he can play soccer!




Currently, near Hill City, SD, Cloudy, 72. High 77   Low 58

The altitude is approximately 5200 feet. And we are surrounded by trees, mountains, and lots of grass! What a great yard we have! We are enjoying the view, the quiet, and making use of the George S. Mickelson Trail, easily accessible from the park, unfortunately heading uphill as we travel south, but the grade is 4%, so very doable. And the return ride is ALL DOWNHILL! What fun! This is our third day here, out of 15--and we definitely will return for a longer stay!

We will be posting more about the Mickelson trail, and our time here at the Rafter J! Our site is spacious, with fantastic views. Oh, and did we say how much we are enjoying it....?

Here are pictures of our site and the view behind us.
