Looking to get in touch with some people from South Dakota.
Have posted a couple of times, but no luck so far.
Anyone who lives in the state would be great, if you live West River, even better.
I'd just like to talk about the state and life there.

Looking forward to your return! Not a SD pede.....yet.
Oh man. Sadly, my knowledge of newer iOS is lacking :(. How are you attempting to stream it? (cam->mac->facebook?)
You'll eventually get it figured out, I'm sure.
So how long have you lived in SD? Looking at leaving where I'm currently at (our governor is crazy (mask mandates, felon voting, lockdowns, sealing people in their homes for not agreeing to quarantine, etc.) and will probably be in power for the next 7+ years).
The worst part is looking at your governor's twitter vs ours. She says all the right things lol
I've done quite a bit of searching, homes and jobs and such, but the best info comes from the people who are actually there.
The wife and I tend to prefer forested type areas, and love small towns. The town we live in has 44k, and it is just too much really lol.
The Black Hills area seems to be a bit like our current state, just a lot less crazy. I'm a veteran, so having the VA in Hot Springs, the nearby base in Rapid City, and the parks there, I figured I'd be alright, jobwise. I've been doing IT work for 20 years, so remote work could also be a possibility. You say that everything is a bit nuts. I'm assuming that is due to the rona. How was the job market before the new normal? lol
Our closest major city is approx. 50ish miles away, about the same as Rapid from Hot Springs. As long as I can have things delivered by mail, we should be fine.
Where I live has constitutional carry (can conceal without a permit) but I haven't seen anything regarding handguns (besides the waiting period). Would you have any idea on that?
And thank you for taking a moment to speak with me. This has been great.
Hi
Hi! Going to assume you are from SD, are you from east or west river?
West
Nice! Been looking at Hot Springs and wanted to talk with some people about things on the west side.
Hows life there? I have done a ton of research, but nothing compares to the experiences of those who live there.
