We have made it to the Black Hills of South Dakota! WooHoo!
After packing all the leftover stuff we couldn't sell or give away into the back end of Bigfoot, we handed the keys to the new owner of the River Cottage and headed out around 5:30 pm on Wed. June 19. Not thinking of any real destination in mind, Elkhart, Ind. was our goal, however, we had no reason to hurry there on this night! Well, once ole Bigfoot gets going, she likes to keep on truckin', so thats what we did! So much for the laid back, easy travel days we had imagined. Around 11:30 pm we meandered into Elkhart Campground for the night and ended up staying a couple nights to re-coup from the 20 hr. day on Wed. and all the anxiety of the packing and moving and preparation we had just been through! This whole process was really stressful, bittersweet and heart wrenching, maybe more so than we imagined! We have moved several times in the past, but this was different, not only were we selling what had become one of our favorite places we have ever enjoyed together, but with no real destination in mind, the whole thing was an experience like none other! In one way we are really glad we have done what we did, but on the other hand, there is always the thought in the back of your mind,"oh no what HAVE WE DONE NOW"!
Time will make the whole picture seem clearer, and we both know that, it's kind of like being newlyweds all over again, in a way, because we are beginning a new life together and even though we have talked about doing it for years, there's always that hint of doubt, no matter how well you have planned or how smoothly everything is going in the process, did we really make the right choice?
In reference to the title of this post, we have made it to the land of Beautiful Sunny Skies and a Super Moon to go along with it! Bigfoot wanted to do a couple more long travel days because we were excited to get to the area of the Black Hills and all the attractions it offers. Now we are at the KOA in Rapid City, SD for the next week to see the sites!
See You Soon! Russ & Debbie & Emmi
