Well we’ve been a little behind in our posting, Jane’s brother drove out to visit for a week and one of Jane’s friends flew out for a week also. We’ve done plenty too, we’ve been to Devil’s Tower, Wind Cave, Custer, Sylvan Lake, Evan’s Plunge, Story Book land and more. Hopefully we can get some post together soon.
Here we are in the town of Rochford, it’s no bigger than what you see here. They just got a new fire house and are having a shin-dig to pay for it.
This is the new fire house
On the left in this photo you can see the old fire house
They had dunk tanks, horse shoe tournaments and keg pushes. Even the cows came to town.
This is one of the volunteers, he’s been camping with us in Whitetail, he took the kids out in the fire truck, they LOVED it!!!
This is the original entrance, 8x13 inches. 
This is boxwork
These are the original telegraph wires that ran from station to station. Most of the poles and wires are still here although in bad shape. 
The train is really chugging now, the return trip is mostly uphill. 
This is Harney peak, the highest point in South Dakota 7200 feet.
There isn’t enough room to turn the whole train around so the engine is detached and moves to the rear of the train. The seat backs swing over so everyone is sitting in the right direction for the return trip.
