20MAY2011 @ Ft. Yates, ND - I awoke at the Prairie Knights Casino and it is raining heavily. Weather.com says there will be a mid-day rain break and a big storm tonight ... so i opt for another night at the Prairie Knights Casino. My lingering cold also figured in on the decision. At 1300 I grabbed my paddle and hitchhiked to Ft. Yates to arrange the canoe and the gear. Inasmuch as the shed was locked and the gear moved about, it is good that I opted to do this today.
