From Nebraska we drove north into South Dakota to visit our “home town” of Madison again and to pick up our mail. Terri has been mailing our letters, magazines and packages ever since we started full-timing and has been truly efficient. We just email her to let her know to which address she needs to mail our stuff and we usually get a response the same day to say when it has been sent. She now handles mail for 1,800 boxes.
The Post Office is very convenient because it’s right across the road and the mail is delivered to her in large, wheeled containers. Also a block away is the County Court House, a large square building built in 1935 in the Art Deco style. |

Sometimes we can pick up mail from an RV park if we stay there for some days and if not, we can pick it up at a post office when we go through one of the towns on our travels when it’s sent to our name c/o General Delivery. Our mail has been delivered this way for almost four years now and we’ve never had a problem with it.

At the 2nd Street diner later, where we had a superb lunch (all home-made food), we'd brought in our atlas and laptop deciding where to stay that night. We mentioned to the waitress which road we were taking and she informed us that that particular highway was flooded and it would be best to go via the interstate, which we did. So, the muskrats were right, eh?
