Traveling Back in Time It was finally time to head to Hugh Glass Rendezvous, but before our trek there we met up with the event organizer and our guide, LaQuita Shockley . The Hugh Glass Rendezvous's goal is to recognize the work of early frontiersmen who contributed to the rich history of Northwest South Dakota. We made our way to Shadehill Recreation Area to get an insight into the historical event. Canvas Wedge Tents lined the pasture with attendees dressed to the nines with various 18th-century goods. Patrons across the nation travel to Lemmon every year to celebrate the rendezvous, some attending for as long as 15 years. After chatting with event-goers, John wanted to join in on the black powder shootouts, while Greta tried her hand at axe throwing. Let’s Feast It was time to head back to the 21st century for our dinner at R Bar Steakhouse . We met back up with Shari Smith , who was also the owner of R Bar at the time (it has since been sold to Rayna Bergin ). Let's Feast Traveling Back in Time
We sat for a bit, chatting with Smith and local customers, and sipped on some cocktails before getting back to work. Like the 605 team always says, “The camera eats first.” Our table was filled with the Western Burger , Walleye , BBQ Chicken Wings , and Ribeye . The team decided it wasn’t time to end the night yet. We decided to check out the Lemmon Legion Club Post 66 after hearing countless times to do so. Throughout our time there, Greta and I picked some songs out to play on the Jukebox and recapped our time in the town. Snacky Sendoff The final stop of our road trip was back at Red Barn Bakery to grab some fuel. After thanking Smith for everything, we had coffee and breakfast sandwiches in hand, ready to head back to Sioux Falls. The team got situated in their seats, preparing for the long journey home.
