We ranch just north of the Sandhills in southwestern SD. We have the benefit of the water that the Sandhills offer yet we have heavier soil so the grass has more punch. Living over the northern edge of the Ogallala aquifer lets us irrigate the land that lays right and isn't too hilly. If you are ever in the area let me know, I would love to meet you.

I checked it out last night and it is exactly 1000 miles from Martin to meadow lake. If you left at daylight from either place and went to the whip you could be there for supper. I would probably jam out and bunk one night at plentywood-it is about halfway and Linda is a good cook lol. If you came up here you could tour lots of may and June calving herds.

Daylight is at 3'00 A'M up here in the late spring it actually doesn't get completely dark. I can't sleep anyways so get an early start to hit the crossing as it opens-then I hammer on it stateside. Denver to home is 22 hours if you go straight through. Don't do those kind of trips as much anymore-I'm more of meander and snoop kind of guy now.

If you are coming to Swede's you could stop for a rest at my place. I could easily make it a days drive from mine to his, it must be all of 150 miles! Cool

You think you meander, give me a chore boy iot might take 2! Laughing
