Bob and I arrived at Chamberlain S.D on Monday night after a 630 mile ride. This was our first night lodging, a little drafty but not bad for south Dakota.
Our first day was successful as I bagged a bird near Winner S.D. Thanks to Raider for flushing and doing a great retrieve.
Bob had to take a break after a long walk thru a cornfield.
Raider had to join him for the break.
The second day we moved to better accommodations, a Super 13, bad luck here.
