Last night we had an amazing hike in the Badlands. Check out the photos on our Flickr site (see the link on the side of this page). Today we finished up our last day at work sites. Two of our groups have been painting a church on the Rez that was originally a one-room schoolhouse here in Kadoka in 1915. It was moved to Wanblee on the reservation in 1969 to be used as a Methodist Church and has been there for 40 years. We met the pastor's wife who helped the church get started, and she and her husband are now leading that church again.
Tonight we had a cookout in the park with several members of the Kadoka community and played some volleyball, frisbee, and on the playground. Tomorrow as we leave camp, we will head to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, possibly Wall Drug and Sioux Falls, and finally sleep in real beds with warm showers in Sioux City,Iowa.
