Design Idea from Medora, ND

Take a rock or piece of petrified wood, circle it with patriotic petunias, circle the petunias with more rocks stuck in concrete, circle the concrete with a wood walkway, and then place a few benches around the walkway to ensure comfortable rock-viewing.

Don't you know I am already taken...

John Henry Day 2007

Exceeding the maximum fun allowed by law...we will be partying so hard, it might be alot like work. You may also want to bring some karaoke music should you want to sing. I have figured out it will be impossible for me to put together a playlist that is going to be expansive enough for our group, so please if you want to sing any particular song or songs..please bring said songs with you. That is all. And don't forget your ridiculously hot outfit.

I will blame Denise..

for it was Denise who recognized the magic of the John Henry Day story, and breathed life into the HIA(a term that was first used by Daniel Mintzlaff, in the year 1993) Denise, you are a witchy woman.

Beating the Heat Last Weekend

Temperatures remained high over the weekend, reaching at least 105 degrees in Rapid. However, hanging about in the shade of various rocks behind Sylvan Lake was pleasant, with temperatures perhaps in the high 80's to low 90's.

Pictured above are friends of Denise who had just completed a morning's worth of climbing before the sun drove them away (to Hill City to have Bomb Pops),

OR

They are strangers who happened to be wandering about and agreed to have their picture taken so Denise could make the HIA audience think she knows people who do fun things.

What do YOU think? Should we have a poll?

Oh yeah, in other news, that same day there was a really hot fire out Nemo by Steamboat Rock that was getting ready to take out the Rolling Hills subdivision when
a 6 million dollar rain knocked it down.
