I might be going to South Dakota y'all!!!

THAT is awesome! One of my favorite charities is St. Joseph's Indian school in South Dakota.

Pine Ridge reservation is not the best place for kids to grow up. Lots of gangs, and alcoholism. In the newsletters I receive from the school, one of the saddest things is that some of the people live so far away from the nearest bit of civilization in their tiny trailers. Often they have no heat and very little food.

One of the worst stories I heard was about a 5 year old little girl who lived in just such a trailer with her drunken mother. She was surviving by eating uncooked Ramen noodles straight from the package. Her mother never showed her that they had to be boiled in water.

Pack for all seasons. I’ve been there in June and a foot of snow fell after waking up to 78° temps. 4 hours later what I thought was a rain storm was 3 days of snow. Also happened in early October. But it is a beautiful place!

It's great that you're doing that, and I hope you enjoy your time there.

But here's a tip: despite the word "south" in the name of the state, they don't say "y'all" there! 😅

Yes all seasons indeed. What a beautiful place though. Should al have been left to the Native Americans. "Where are your people ?"

Great

I love it out there. Need to go back.

I think you will love it.
