Lemmon, SD: The Far Side Of The World

Speaking of Lemmon, we went on yet another prairie dog shoot this weekend.  This is the second one of the year.  A fine time was had staying at the new Lemmon Lodge (with a pool!) and eating at Benny's and the Alaska Cafe.  A guy from Lemmon once told me, "Lemmon is not the edge of the world, but you can see it from here."  I am continually impressed with the beauty of that area of our state, the kindness of the people, and the stupidity of the prairie dogs.  I am grateful for all three of those things.  Unfortunately it was quite windy, making shooting difficult. 

If anyone thinks the world is overpopulated, they have never been to Lemmon.  Here are some pictures from just east of Highway 73, near the Grand River National Grasslands.
