Thursday - Today was another short drive day back towards Rapid City. We are staying at Hart Ranch Camping Resort courtesy of Hondo friends Brad and Elaine. It’s a membership park and they have been members for quite a few years.
Friday - I opted to hang around at the RV instead of going to the buffalo roundup at Custer State Park. It sounded like a bit much for me. Crowds and sitting outside for most of the day didn’t sound like fun. I’m sure that seeing the 1500+ buffalo being driven from around the state park into corrals near the southern end may have been pretty cool, but it sounded like a really long day.
I had ordered a couple of ferrite cores to “build” a ferrite core common mode choke to use with the JPC-12 antenna. This is to prevent common mode current from running along the braided metal shield on the coax from the antenna to the transceiver.
Sunday - This morning, we went to the Buffalo Hunt Coaster location for breakfast and a church service. There is an old western town setting and a display of the set locations where some scenes from
Dances with Wolves was filmed.
Pretty touristy and commercial but breakfast was cheap enough with “cowboy bacon” as thick as ham slices.
