Big Move...

The road re-sealing is done in our part of the park; we can move to the spot we reserved out on the perimeter. Yep, a whole 4 blocks or so... and it took about an hour and a half to get it done. Two trips to get the cargo trailer, motorcycle, then the HitchHiker moved to the new site. It doesn't matter if you are going 4 blocks or 4oo miles, you still have to unhook all the utilities, pull in the slides, put everything down, and hitch the 5th wheel to the truck.

Even though it is further away from all the amenities (or maybe because it is), we prefer this location. Less traffic, it's quieter, and no people walking through your site. Out the back of the coach is a large grassy area for pet walking... Izzy's favorite place here at Hart Ranch.

Izzy isn't alone in her preference... yesterday this area was all unoccupied, this afternoon, the spots are filling up. You can see in the photo above that spring has not quite come to the Black Hills - the trees are just getting buds.

Mother Nature had some fun with us today. It was a beautiful morning and early afternoon. When the time came to get moved, the wind kicked up... 30+ miles per hour. Within a half hour of completing the move, it eased back off to 15 - 20... enough that Izzy wanted to explore all that grassy area. It wasn't long before the sky turned black and thunderstorms rolled across us; more wind, rain and lightning. Nothing particularly severe, just springtime in the Black Hills.
