    Took a 10 day vacation to the Black Hills of South Dakota and I snapped these pics of eastern SD. Hardly a tree in sight. Very depressing. DSC02100.JPG DSC02101.JPG DSC02102.JPG

    No hoarding being done there. Nice place to fly a kite, though

    My wife is from Custer, smack in the middle of the Black Hills, and we live in IA now, so I have made that long treeless trip quite a few times.

    Thank goodness I only got the small stuff here. There was a tornado that touched down yesterday about 5 miles east of me. That does not happen very often around here.
