Well....after feeling like it would never come, departure day for our 2010 Speed Goat Hunt finally arrived! As a matter-of-fact, we are currently sitting in the Country Inn Motel in the half deserted town of Murdo, South Dakota. We will finish our drive with about 4 hours in the truck tomorrow morning.
We left the Oconomowoc area shortly after 7:00am this morning, and made short work of the 700 miles to Murdo. We stopped once for a bio-break and driver change in LaCrosse, then stopped again for a Subway sandwich in Luverne, Minnesota. After lunch, we started discussion about the accoutrements each of us had brought that would provide us with unique advantage against our quarry, which led to realization of the items we had forgotton. As if on cue, the sign for Mitchell, South Dakota's Cabela's retail store appeared! Hallelujah! We made a quick stop to secure items to enhance our hunt, and continued on our way to Murdo.
So, 10.5 hours after leaving home, we arrived at our humble accomodations in Murdo. After the host's brief history lesson about the property and surrounding area, we checked into our rooms. A short nip of scotch sent us off to dinner at the Buffalo Bar, where we all enjoyed....what else...but a buffalo burger. Back at the Country Inn now....we sit imbibing one more short nip and planning our next day's itinerary.
Look for more posts soon.....
