South Dakota Rushmore Roamers – Presidents

Hello from the cool state of South Dakota!! First, we would like to welcome our new members, Chuck & Lynda Gumeson, and Michael & Marie Siemens. Thank you for joining our chapter of the Newmar Kountry Klub.

We hosted our chapter rally in Mitchell, South Dakota, where we observed the incredible work the Hansen Wheel and Wagon shop performs on restoring horse drawn wagons. Then we attended the NKK International Rally in Rock Springs, Wyoming, and spent a week at a fireworks convention in Newton, Iowa, in July.

We also attended our State Rally in Pierre, South Dakota, in August. Thanks to Del & Lela Nordstrom for a job well done. The tours of the State Capitol Building and the Oahe Dam were outstanding!

We then headed out for a two-week cruise and returned in time for our Region Four Rally in Minnesota in September. Thanks for a great rally Paul & Judy Swing!

After a hot summer and more surprises, we contemplate what could possibly be next. What with COVID, the war in Ukraine, high cost of diesel, out of control inflation, huge drops in the stock market, and the threat of a recession, more devastating wildfires, what could possibly be next? Thankfully, like so many other Newmar owners, we are mobile enough to escape the chaos and stresses of life and temporarily dwell in our coaches to find peaceful fulfillment wherever we may roam in the sunny reaches of our great country.

We are currently planning next year’s chapter rally. We hope to have more details in the next edition of the Legacy magazine.
