Sad news with our Tucson, the engine is shot in it and would cost way to much to fix for what is owed against it. That being said, we now have a Chevy Traverse. So soon this page will be renamed to “The Traveling Traverse”.

We got our first measurable snow fall this weekend. Luckily we already had reservations at Lakeside Casino, so we didn’t have to drive too much in it. We were in Des Moines shopping when it started snowing.

Sept 18th before we started heading back to Iowa from our South Dakota trip, we adventured thru the area we were staying and came across The Historic Fort Randall Post Chapel.

Soldiers of the post built the Chapel in 1875. Stones from fields were used to make the foundation, chalk rock from the bluffs to veneer the walls, and cottonwood to make the rafters. The building housed a non-denominational chapel, a library, and a social gathering room.

It was build in the shape of a cross, it had a bell tower with a winding staircase. It had a large organ and a bell that could be heard from miles around. It was abandoned in 1892. In 1896 the 36-inch 550 pound bell was given to the Springfield, SD city hall.

In 2003 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers got with the National Park Service and local historical societies to restore the historic chapel. They added the roof to preserve the crumbling chapel. While doing this, they got the original bell from a bell keeper. They returned the bell back to the chapel in 2004.

One thing we love to do is go camping. After purchasing The Tucson, we found a tent that fastens to the back of the SUV. When the back hatch is open, the Tucson becomes a second area to sleep. These pictures are from a campsite at Thousand Hills State Park outside of Kirksville, MO.
