Fun Trip to Mt. Rushmore!
Roger and I ventured out to Mt. Rushmore. We made it just in time for the evening program.

South Dakota - McLaughlin
Roger splits time between two dental clinics, one in Fort Yates, North Dakota, and the other one in McLaughlin, South Dakota. They are in the process of hiring another dentist for McLaughlin, South Dakota. He called me to bring his special magnifying glasses to him at the McLaughlin clinic which is 30 miles away from Ft.Yates. As long as I was there, I thought I would travel another 30 miles to a town called Mobridge, South Dakota.
North and South Dakota, besides the Indian population was homesteaded by Russian, German, and Norwegian Immigrants. While I was in Mobridge, I picked up a local "Centennial" cookbook. It has been fun to browse through the recipes. I thought I would share one of the German Russian Dishes found in the recipe book.
Fleich Kuechle
Dough:
4 C. Flour
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
4 tsp. shortening
1 2/3 cup milk
Mix together flour, salt, and baking powder; cut in shortening with fork or patstry blender until it looks like coarse corn meal. Add milk and mix in to make a soft, but not sticky, dough.
Filling:
1 1/2 lb. hamburger
2 tsp. sat
2/3 c. water
chopped onion and pepper to taste
Brown hamburger and onion in water; stir in salt. Roll half of dough to 1/8 in. thickness. Cut into 6 inch squares. Spread meat thinly over 1/2 of each square; fold over and pinch edges to seal. Drop dough into deep hot fat and fry slowly until nicely browned. Makes about 20 meat pies.

Indian Pow Wow
Picture 1: Teenage Boys in full dance costumes.
On Friday night we went to the big event of the community - the "Standing Rock Indian POW WOW"
During the summer each of the Indian tribes have a Pow Wow, in which they invite the other tribes to participate. Each tribe has groups of dancers and drummers who compete at the events.

The costumes are so colorful and it is mesmerizing watching them dance around the pavilion where the Pow Wow is held. Each tribe has their own set of drums with anywhere from three to six men drumming on the large drums at one time. They have their individual styles of drumming and dancing per tribe.
Picture 3: The very young to the very old participate in the competition.
At the same time, in another location close to the Pow Wow there was a tribal
rodeo going on. The Indians Tribes in North and South Dakota are into rodeos just like our towns and cities in Utah are in the summer.
