Rick practicing for the NFAA National Field Tournament.
Thursday we took off for Yankton SD so Rick could shoot the National Field Tournament. We decided to make it a camping trip so I booked us a site at the Chief White Crane Recreation Area. It is always hard to book a site when you never been there before. I did a little research and then just picked a site and hope for the best.
I am very happy to say that the campgrounds was great! The camp sites were huge. We were right next to the lake so we had a wonderful view. I was a little worried about how noisy it would be because it is a huge campgrounds but it was not noisy at all. Everything was so clean and the campground host and state workers came around often.
We were sorry that we did not bring our bikes because they had a very good tail system.
This was the view from our campsite. The lake has no motors on it rule so it was very quite.
We took the dogs for a walk down to the Missouri River and Dexter jumped right in. He was hot so he decided he was just going lie in it. I need to take him swimming more!
On our way to the campgrounds we saw all these boats right below the dam. I guess they were bow fishing for paddle fish. I hear it is big deal in SD
Another view of our site
We had perfect weather all weekend. We had just a few sprinkles on Saturday night but by Sunday morning the clouds moved out and and sun returned.
On Saturday evening the clouds were coming in at sunset when the beam of light broke though the clouds. It made for a beautiful picture.
Rick had lots of fun shooting. They do not have the scores up yet so I cannot tell you how he did but he figures he is in about 7th-8th place.
I had a wonderful relaxing trip. I did some reading, walked the dogs, and even went for a 4 mile run. Well more like a run/walk. It was hard to leave on Sunday.
Good thing we are going camping again this weekend!
Later Sharon
