Monday 5-1 Big Sioux Recreation Area

 

Camping

We woke up to snow on the ground. It started to snow last night around 11 and continued until noon.  The weather man had predicted snow but we didn’t expect it to stick. Larry took Flo out for her morning walk in the snow, she didn’t mind the snow at all. Larry said that the snow was a wet snow. I stayed in bed. By the time the snow finished the total amount of snow they got in town was 3.5 inches. They hadn’t had that much snow in May since 1944. While the snow was coming down we stayed inside trying to keep warm. The only time we went outside was to take Flo for a walk and to take a shower. When we did take Flo for a walk she didn’t want to come back inside so I put her on the chain and she was happy laying in the snow.

The snow started to melt around 2:00 but it was messy. By dinnertime the sun came out and the snow was gone so Larry and I went for a walk on the hiking trail. We walked for an hour and a half and walked about 4 miles. A lot of other people had the same idea considering the snow was gone. Larry was tried of being inside for the last couple of days.

We had a great time at Big Sioux Recreation Area.
