Today turned out to be a productive day. Joe and I drove to Sam's Club in Rapid City. They are well prepared for venders. We got everything we needed and ordered for the rest of the week. Then we needed to find a bread outlet. Joe had the name and phone number of a store, but our paperwork disappeared. So we asked people at Sam's Club for the nearest outlet. We walked into the outlet and Joe asked for the contact we had been given, and we had the right store! He set us up with our buns and we are on a route for his driver. The trailer is now parked on our spot, and last night we prepped and started smoking 8-10 pork butts and 7 brisket. So you know what we get to do today... Joe sent Kathryn and me to get water from the rv park around 8:30. Kathryn and I contemplated taking a shower, making a mocha, and just resting for awhile before heading back to the trailer, but the thought of Yosemite Sam appearing drove us back to finish helping.
Our big fiasco today was trying to find a car wash that fits our trailer. We drug the trailer thru Spearfish looking for a car wash, and had a nice tour of the town. Many people now know we are here! However, there was no fitting car wash for us in Spearfish. We thought we had water on our vending spot, so we went to K-Mart and bought all we needed. When we got parked and ready to wash, we found that the water had been turned off. So we turned to Kay who is managing the property we are on, and she knew of a car wash in her town, which is 10 miles out, so we went for another scenic tour. It really is pretty countryside out here. We found our car wash and cleaned up the trailer so it shines. Kathryn and I scrubbed the deck of all the old grease and meat stains, and it was gorgeous. However, after prepping all the meat last night, it's back to its old stains again. I think we'll be "swabbing the deck" quite a bit.
Our rv park is filling up. We are in ghetto row...anything older than 2000 and less than 40 feet (with the exception of our neighbors next door) is situated along this row. Debra, I'm beginning to think you are right. Bikers these days are too old to get rowdy and cause trouble. Heck, I think they've been spending the last 20 years accumulating money so they can ride in style.
