Travel Guide

A local boy who made it big, Casey Tibbs was a 9 time world champion bronc rider in the 1940’s & 1950’s. He would appear in over 30 movies and was John Wayne’s technical advisor. This statue is also a weather vane, was is kind of cool!

A beautiful South Dakota field near the White River.
If you like hunting (pheasants) you can't beat this area of the country. Beautiful open spaces, great people, and for after the hunt one of the smallest town bars the "Reliance Bar". Weather can vary greatly -- last year -5 degrees and a ton of snow and this year mid-60s beautiful skies. Both are great fun in their own way.
Oahe Lake Missouri River. So peaceful
