RED-TAILED HAWK

The days pass quickly here in the Black Hills. We are continuing to ride the back roads and enjoy exploring. The photos below are what we believe to be a YOUNG RED-TAILED HAWK that we spotted and Denny captured with the camera while on a recent ride.




We enjoyed a visit from our Frostproof neighbors, Bill & Ruth Creswell(next to us) and parents Bob & Faith (across the street), on Sunday afternoon. They are doing a trip similar to what we did last June...flew into Denver and making a big loop to include Yellowstone, Tetons, Black Hills and Cheyenne Frontier Days. They also got to experience one of our HAIL STORMS! We are looking forward to having cousins, Joe & Karen Campbell, stop by this coming week. The STURGIS BIKE RALLY will be the following week...that should be interesting as we are told the crowds impact a 100 mile radius...which would certainly include our area!

Yesterday was our hottest day yet (near 90 degrees) and there were hundreds here at our North Marina and on the lake cooling off!
