Yes, it’s still October 31
From there I had a brief stop in Rapid City to see a few friends working hard on in preparation for election night. Once again I would go into detail, but again Ms. Couch has advised me that, while I might stray a bit in my travels, I should not in my writing.
Did you think I had enough gear?
My trip was far from over as I headed back out on the road, destination: Rapid City. My next stop was Rays Western Wear. I needed to pick up a Montana Silversmith briefcase. [From the editor: if Jess is going to have to carry a briefcase around while wearing that suit, it better be a a piece of Montana pride!] Like everything there is more to the story here, but my editor coaches me to be brief and concise on my first round of blog postings. So I will just say to all you readers, if you are driving I90 to Rapid City, you better stop in at Rays Western Wear and be prepared for service and western hospitality that warms your heart and lightens your pocket book! Yes, Deb and the crew are the best, and I am still not sure how I went in to pick up a briefcase and came out with a new cowboy hat. If you want to know the story, you will have to stop in at Rays Western Wear! Call ‘em before you do at: 605-787-4702 and ask for Deb McPherson!
Moving on down the road
From there, my travels take me to Belle Fourche, SD. Belle Fourche is home to one of the top livestock markets in the Black Hills. Here I meet up with a top cowman Mike Karrells. Mike and I discuss U.S. Cattlemen’s membership efforts in Montana and the Dakotas. On a side note- if you are looking for some great horses, the Karrell ranch is having its annual horse sale at the Big Country Sale, Wednesday, December 3rd at Midland Bulltest outside of Columbus, MT. For more information, click here.
Mike and I map out some possible USCA meetings for January 2009 and agree to make these happen and continue building the organization!
