Tuesday Travelogue-August 18th

Welcome to the ongoing weekly series called Tuesday Travelogue. We are in our fifty-ninth week!  Each week, some ActiveRain bloggers are spotlighted to take us somewhere we may not have been on some kind of virtual travel (and it doesn't cost a dime!). Here is the purpose:

 

" to enjoy the ride"

"take a trip without even leaving the farm"

"expand your horizons"

"see through someone else's eyes"

 

  and hopefully much more!

This week, we visit South Dakota!! 

The first stop is in the Black Hills area, where this local realtor, Duane Hosek does much for supporting adoptions and homes and a special pet project  for pets from the local Humane Society. I am ALL over this type of localism support!

 

I looked at this post and it truly made me hungry (and I just finished my lunch!) Azteca, a Mexican restaurant in Sioux Falls  SD, would be one of my "must-stops if I were visiting Rosalie Evans--she has some great foodie fotos--check it out!

Gettin' your hat on in Rapid City, South Dakota! Once again, It's Duane Hosek who comes through on the localism spectrum...(not a lot of AR members who are active in South Dakota it seems...)This was a Chamber of Commerce event. I don't think I've been to one that festive!

 

Back to dogs and Rosalie Evans! This was an annual Germanfest in Sioux City, SD and it was a dachshund race! What fun! Check out the female "Dachsie"  who ran the race right after back surgery (too cute!)

Don't fence me in! Or DO, but make sure you do it according to South Dakota law in Snohomish country, SD! Fencing laws for horse property and hobby farms, Lee Alley gave us the scoop in a wonderfully well-written article.

 I finally found a blogger other than Duane and Rosalie who wrote about South Dakota and he wasn't even from there! Cal Yoder visited Mt. Rushmore, SD on a family trip. A long way from his home in Pennsylvania!

Looks like one could have a wonderful time in South Dakota.  My son does spend some time there.  Wasn't the annual Sturgis rally just this past week?

Gayle,

Yikes I have even been to South Dakota, but I don't remember anything this exciting or restaurants like Rosalie's or a dachshund race.  The presidents are looking good as always.  A

Chris and Dick Dovorany this was my very first trip to South Dakota! Always wanted to visit the Dakotas....a lot of Native American heritage that I would want to see. 

Belinda Spillman the little female with her cart, just racing along--so inspiring!

Of course Daschunds are known for having back troubles.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel really?? I truly would have thought that this would be one of the few you HADN'T visited, but maybe Dick Greenberg in all of his many visits/moves, etc that he has made, WOULD have. Guess I was wrong! 

Noah Seidenberg thank you, you're so sweet!

Sharon Lee you might not have put this together but Mr. T's name, Takoda is from a Lakota tribe in the Dakotas....and often people call him Dakota instead of Takoda. But, it's what they're used to hearing. "Takoda" means friend to everyone. Which he's proven to at least all humans...not so much big dark  dogs. 

 

 Kathy Streib just love ya for stoppin' by! Busy day--four videos shot for my Lake staff and I am showing property in less than an hour--YIKES!

The Black Hills are one of the places I would like to visit as well as a pass to Mt Rushmore.  Maybe take in the dog races as well.

 Good Tuesday evening Gayle. I do like to take trips to leave the farm. The Black Hills of South Dakota is one place that I would like to go.

Hi Gayle - Well, half-right - I have been to South Dakota, but that's mostly because I lived in North Dakota for a year.

Dying to visit South Dakota Gayle and gaze up at Mt. Rushmore.  BTW, do you think there might be a Rocky Racoon sighting?  Thank you once again for all of the hard work you put into my travel itineraries around the country girlfriend!
