07/25/17 - On 7/21, I spent a lot of time with the gal who does insurance policies.  She gave me some quotes and we went over them very carefully.  She talks alot and I am not sure how much to actually believe because she is an insurance agent, a card reader, a medium, no teeth at all, has had gastric bypass but is still quite heavy.  Who knows what all is true.  Anyway, we finally got the policies done, paid for and cards printed!!  Also, decided to apply for a disabled placard from South Dakota since I can't use the California one any more.  I thought it would be nice to have and use whenever I buy alot of groceries or use when going to events that have huge parking lots.  I thought it is better to have then to leave the area and wish I had one.  So I completed the form, call one of the physicians in my old practice to see if he is OK to sign it and he was, so faxed it to him for signature.  I was told after I had the signatures, I need to to go to the courthouse to get the placard.

7/24 - I called to cancel my old insurances policies and I got that all done.  I will have refunds coming for both the car and RV.  Also, called California to tell them not to fax signature form until 7/26 since I was going to be gone all day tomorrow.  Yuya told me she already faxed it but office was closed so not sure if they will keep it. Will check later.

7/25 -  Today, I got up at 8 00 am and had plans to meet Sharon at 9 00 am at the Flying J gas station next door to the campground.  Sharon lives in Rapid City and she is the sister to my sister-in-law, Ruby.  It was so nice to have a personal tour guide and she was the driver so I could see things as we were driving.  It was wonderful.  It was a cooler day and a little cloudy so was quite comfortable.  We did a lot of driving but saw Mt. Rushmore, Crazyhorse (which is also being carved out of rock but sure has a long way to go.  I actually could not really vision the final sculpture and they wanted $27 to get in and we could really see it from a little parking lot before the entrance.  We drove on Needles Highway which was named because of all the rock formations and there saw the mountain goats.  I will attach a picture.  We were also on Iron Mountain Road which was very curvy and up and down.  We went through some tunnels and one tunnel at the end you could really see Mt. Rushmore but it was too far for the camera so that will just have to be a memory.  We drove Wildlife Loop Road and there I saw a herd of Bison, wild donkeys, pronghorns and prairie dogs.  Quite an interested ride.  We had lunch at Alpine Inn (German restaurant).  I had a German plate and it was delicious and the ambiance was wonderful.  It was a wonderful day.   When I got back, I checked with the office regarding the fax and learned that she had it and also they can go to the courthouse for me!!  So I gave her all the forms and they plan to go tomorrow.  She also had my license plates for both car and RV so will try to put those on tomorrow.  This is very long so will put pictures on next post.
