Yes, that’s a ladybug walking up our kitchen window. Yes, it’s November 22nd. But it’s nearly sixty degrees in South Dakota!

Weather is ridiculously nice here in South Dakota so hubs and I went for a hike this morning at Great Bear. They’ve been working on their trails, with about half the park acreage completed. The trails they’re creating are very nice.
BTW: it’s November 22nd and it was 53 degrees here. Craaaazy!

Not as dramatic on 11/12/2025 as the night before but the aurora borealis was still lovely in the South Dakota skies.

A10 #parkchat I’m learning to enjoy boat tours. Never much of a “water person” until hubs and I took a 40th Anniversary tour out on Yellowstone Lake. Jeez, what a view. Would definitely add lake tours to more national park itineraries in the future.
