If you are not trying to take care of livestock outside, winter is fine. It is not place for horse people used to year-round happiness with their horses. Other than that issue, I deeply love Rapid City and the beautiful Black Hills for so many reasons. I did leave part of myself there. The pioneer soul of America is alive in The Black Hills And if you are aware, you will feel an incredible energy in The Dakotas. And the adjacent part of Wyoming. And Montana and Idaho. This "feeling" extends west to include Spokane and much of WA east of the Cascades.
Aren't the rare chemicals and many others, on the moon?
