On our recent trip to South Dakota, we went into Wyoming for a day trip. We stopped in Sundance, Wyoming, at the Crook County Courthouse. We didn’t have a lot of time, but we were able to find a deed for some property purchased on Black Tail Creek by one of Michelle’s relatives.
We had a good month off and are back on the blog again. And we did do some fishing. We spent a few days out in the Black Hills of South Dakota with a day trip into Wyoming.
We are taking the month of June off. We have some family visiting and some landscape projects we are working on. And, if all goes well, some fishing too!
