One of the projects we have completed so far this spring is the concrete work and construction of a high house and low house for the new skeet range, which was overlaid at the existing trap range. It is a nice addition to the area and we look forward to using it once the weather straightens out. It will also give the guys here in the fall something to do for a few hours if they feel so inclined.
We just returned from our first grain bin pour near Wall on the edge of the Badlands. We got to drive through the park in the morning and afternoons going to and from the job site. Where the buffalo roam, and the deer and the antelope play as the song says. We also got to see the grouse do their dance, along with prairie dogs, coyotes and other wildlife. Many of you have taken the Loop so you know what I'm talking about. We even tried to convince Robert that the yearling buffalo would be nice, but he wouldn't quite go for it. A little less work, and another SLAP or two and he might have went for it. We completed the project just in time for it to receive some rain and even possibly some snow.
We also managed to get another 2500 trees replanted, and some of the food plots worked. It looks like it could be a while before we're in the field again. Looking to get a chance at checking on our fish also, but the weather needs to straighten out for that to. It will all get done in time, and soon enough we'll be talking about how hot and dry it is, and that we can't wait for fall/winter.
Cordie and Marlys have also moved into their new house. Nearly everything is complete with a few minor things here and there. Some time this summer we will get the deck attached, but for now I believe they're happy to be situated. The additional rooms will also be finished this summer when we get some time.
