Heartland RV Park, Hermosa, SD -- 9/7-13
This was the same park we stayed at on our way to the Badlands, and what a difference! There were far more empty spaces, and the weather was noticeably cooler. Our reasons for staying here a full week were to spend more time with Dave & Diane (as always, we had a blast), and to play in the sectional bridge tournament.
It had been a while since we did anything "touristy" in Rapid City, so we all took the City View Trolley around the city for most of a day. This tourist trolley makes stops at many of the local attractions. Our favorite stop was the Chapel in the Hills, a replica of the famous 850-year-old Stave Church in Borgund, Norway, built by Rapid City's Scandinavian community.
The last night we were here, we were able to get tickets to see Country Current, the Country Music branch of the US Navy Band. As one would expect, these are excellent musicians, and we thoroughly enjoyed the way-too-short program.
