My Chevrolet Express van Class B- camper
I have been camping in my 1990 Chevrolet Silverado Blazer 2-door for the last 20 years. When I removed the back seat there was just enough room for a 3/4 sized (Hollywood, as some people called them)...

Last Wednesday it was time for us to go on another of our new-to-us campground trips within our state of SD. This week we chose West Bend Recreation Area west of Stephan, SD on the Missouri River.
Our campsite #4 was very shady all day so even though the temps got into the high 80's we stayed comfortable. It cooled down enough in the evening that all we needed were our window screens. We did not have to get out the AC unit for the van.
Many of the campsites were right on the shore, but they felt the effects of the wind, whereas our campsite was very well protected. I am sure the boat owners liked these sites. This is Lake Sharpe which is one of the four reservoirs created by dams on the Missouri River in SD.
We walked along the trails that meandered along the shoreline and through the campground.
I did not shoot a lot of birds with my camera on this trip, but we did run across this yellow swallowtail getting a drink in the wet sand.
This trip took us to the south central part of South Dakota. I think our next trip will be to the north eastern part. Stay tuned!
