Oh This Is Nice

We traveled due east from our last campground to get to another South Dakota State Park, Roy Lake State Park. We are gradually heading back to Arkansas, but I didn’t want to get too far south too soon. That turned out to be a good decision because we’re having temperatures from the fifties to the seventies and not much further south it’s supposed to be in the high nineties.

We are camped in the East Unit of the park; when we got here on Sunday there was one other trailer and someone staying in one of the two cabins they have here.

Today we are alone with 32 empty campsites!

There are big, beautiful hardwoods here. I had to get out my tree book to figure out our neighbors. They are mostly bur oaks with quite a few green ash and some American basswoods. There are big squirrels in abundance much to Matey’s delight.

And Matey and I have met two different small flocks of turkeys.

There is a disc golf course on the other side of the park.

And pretty Roy Lake forms a background to it all.

Oh this is nice and we are so lucky to be here, doing this.
