No blog for four (well, now five) days ... oh dear ... On Friday cattle needed to be moved, our poor guests had to put up an electrical fence before - this is not called a "working cattle ranch" for nothing. In the evening we went swimming in our own lake. On Saturday Anthony and Jo took everyone shopping and visiting Mount Rushmore (the presidents' heads). At the end of the day Nick and I met up with them at the rodeo dance in Belle Fourche. There was lots of sweat, just watching was not tolerated, everyone had to get moving.
Barely back home, we had to get up again: July 4 is the American Independence Day and every year there is a big rodeo in Belle Fourche. I have already written in detail about rodeos (just enter "rodeo" into the search function above left), that's why there won't be any pics or descriptions. It was lots of fun. Afterwards we drove over to Devils Tower, walked around the foot of it and watched the traditional fire works.
Since Sunday, Susanne from Germany is staying with us. On Monday we went riding again, checked cattle, sorted out neighbor's calf, and roped Cisco, the donkey, again.
DEUTSCH: Der Viehtrieb mit den Nachbarn, der fuer Dienstag (heute) geplant war, findet aus Wettergruenden (zu viel Regen) nun erst Mittwoch statt. Schade, denn Mittwoch fahre ich Dagmar, Stefan und Sandra leider schon wieder zum Flughafen. Viel Spass, Christine, Lena und Susi!
The cattle drive with the neighbors which was planned for Tuesday, could not take part because of the weather (too much rain). It'll be tomorrow now. Too bad because I am driving Dagmar, Stefan and Sandra to the airport on Wednesday. Have fun, Christine, Lena and Susi!
