The two oldest of our children are girls and married. My son is not ready keeping looking to finding his way in life with all emotional and inventive ways he can employ. He left home for some time and keeps returning for occasional visits where he is and always will be welcomed. The only one left in the family living at home and is very comfortable there is our last born, Tina. Moreover, she alone is the purpose of writing this portion of this Website and dealing with the subject called: Transition. There will be a big different in our daily life, never did we think though we knew that the time would come, being not deserted, but being alone. Tina, our youngest daughter will graduate from High school soon, exactly in 1982, her 18 `s birthday and plans to enter soon after The University in Milwaukee WI as a Coed. It is a sad day for all of us, however a part of live, who comes to all people in one way or another. Like always, particular this time the contact with my best Friend and Lord helped us to cope and will. The rest of this Website will inform you very exactly about all the adventures we meet when we on the trip with the camper in the land of enchantment and the shrine of democracy: "South Dakota."
The sacred Badland and Black Hills.
One nice morning, in the 70` all of us occupied our car, with attached trailer, started driving westward on a long anticipated camping trip, South Dakota. We had one overnighter in Minnesota after we kept one going on sunflower framed Highways. The vision was limited, however did not slowed us down. South Dakota is located in the northern part of the Midwestern state to which our state Wisconsin belongs, too. It lies 250 miles south of the Canadian Border surrounded by Minnesota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota, bisected by the Missouri River running north to south. The first night we entered the area of the Badlands we camped direct at the feet of the colored mountains, what a feeling! The area of the Badland was

original owned by the Indian Tribe Sioux who today lives in reservations close by. It is sad to see and observe the poor living condition of this proud people. Former gold miners established the many mining towns in the Black Hills. The most famous towns are Deadwood and Custer. In which we participated the hanging of an outlaw. Tina our most little one in age and in size was very sad after the theatrical presentation.
more like a Horse race. Nobody thrown off and appreciated the adventure to ride. The many evenings we spend around the campfire in Custer State Park, had a special ambient, not to be afraid, but thankful to our Maker to give us such feeling of togetherness. It was awesome! The day before we planned to visit Mount Rushmore in all its glory, another appreciable outing happened, the visiting an inside warm water swimming Olympic pool, with humongous slides. On the way, back we stopped awhile to be close and observing a grazing Buffalo Heard. We Already locking forward tomorrow`s Trip to Mt. Rushmore.
Visited Mount Rushmore, S.D.
Many visitors from all corners of the world come and stand in reverence in the shadows of Americas Shrine of Democracy, as President Franklin Roosevelt one called Mount Rushmore. We joined this multiple and versatile group of people and listened to the explanations' of the park superintend, who was a son of this land, a Sioux Indian with thirty years service. The image posted in this text depicts and named the greatest Presidents the nation ever had. The following is a quote of this Park Superintend, which I copied: "These Sculptures represent America, and their backdrop is the sacred Black Hills, the home of mine and my brothers and sisters." Another monument close by is a creation

Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, Wyatt Earp, and Doc Holiday are just a few that helped give these Cities bad reputation. What we saw was a restoration of salons and shops to like of the old western days. Before we parted from Custer and moved closer to Mount Rushmore. I made myself comfortable in a saloon chair, which according to legend owned by Wild Bill. Many memories returned to my youth when playing Indian &Cowboys. One event, driving on an unpaved road made all of us gasping for air .Slowing down helped quite a bit to control the situation better. Looking around, visited a place where TV Show Ponderosa filmed. We all participated in a supposed calm horse-riding event, it ended up
of Indian origin, and will be present, chiseled in Granite, The famous Sioux Chief, Grazy Horse. The time of finishing this undertaking is only a guess, therefore not addressed. I saw and felt how the visitors, including me, affected by the solitude of this place, which cannot be found in the halls of Congress or the many monuments in Washington DC. You find it here because of its beautiful natural cathedral and the powerful monument of the Presidents. Very slowly, but filled with pride to be a part of this great nation ,which presented me with the opportunity to mold my life, according to my Youthful dreams, we started packing for close departure. It did not take long and we rolled along the Highways Eastward, crossed the Mighty Missouri, Overnighted once before crossing the Mississippi, the border of Wisconsin, being home. At the time we passed The Dells, which should known to you, it only took a few more hours and there was Waukesha, HOME!
