It makes things much easier, although it took a couple of trips to get used to not having the man of the place with me. He really doesn't want to go, but encourages me to go and have a great time.

The director was my church's associate pastor. He and the other director arranged for a room for the counselors to chill out. They got on the topic of why is Wall Drug a stopping point. I said it was because you need a break in between DeSmet and Mt. Rushmore. Both looked at me going "DeSmet?", I pointed out that it was the most important thing to see in South Dakota. Ray then looked at the other guy at said his wife wanted to take a tour of the homesites. Being helpful, I said that William Anderson had written a guidebook about where to stay & eat while doing this. Both guys looked at me shocked that their wives weren't wierd, or maybe that I was as wierd as their wives anyway that there were enough of us out there that books had been written. So yes, other interests need to put out as a carrot to get our families to agree. About 10 years ago, I spent a week as a camp counselor. The director was my church’s associate pastor.
