We started our morning at Roof site #1, cleaning up the debris and delivering it to the dump. We then headed to historic Fort Totten to see what the paint crew had finished, and to learn the haunting stories of the fort's previous life as a boarding school to assimilate native children. We heard personal stores from Mildred our lovely host, whose mother and elder relatives were school residents. After we finished our lunches we headed to Sullys Hill, a wildlife and nature preserve. We hiked the trails and viewed buffalo and prairie dogs. A much needed stop at the local DQ hit the spot! We're headed back for a busy, final evening at Spirit Lake. More tomorrow as we begin the journey home.
