As we approached our residential location for our South Dakota stint, we crossed Pactola Reservoir. We had to cross it a couple of times to get to and from Mt. Rushmore and Custer State Park, and with each pass mom expressed an interest in finding a place on a lake to spend part of the summer. Coming north has opened the eyes of my parents as they realize there are multiple places in the United States to enjoy peaceful locales as well as cool temperatures. I would not be surprised to find them renting a VRBO near Rapid City next summer.
On our final trek over the reservoir, we finally decided to stop and take a few photographs. Though the view is inspiring, I was more impressed with my father's ability to bend at the knees in order to take a floral close-up. Oh, for a pair of spry knees.
