One of my favorite things about summer is the fresh produce.  And, if you live in the Black Hills – there is a great farmers market in Rapid City three days a week.

Where is the Rapid City Farmers Market

It is located at Founders Park (the park across the street from Office Depot).  It is held Tuesday’s, Thursdays and Saturday’s.

The selection varies seasonally.  It is a great place for the locavores to find some tasty local food.  Black Hills Milk and eggs are often there.

What is your favorite thing at the farmers market?

Ponderosa Cafe

So you find yourself in Hulett Wyoming and you’ve got a mighty hunger.  Where do you eat?

I suggest the Ponderosa Café.  This is a great place to enjoy a beef or bison burger.  The prime rib is just amazing.  They know how to prepare meat here.  Be sure you are hungry, because the portions phot the bacon cheese burger with sweet potato fries at the Ponderosa Cafe Hulett Wyare generous.  Also, I recommend the sweet potato fries – they are so good you don’t even need any dipping sauce.

The bar is in the back – just in case you need to wet your whistle.  And, there is a small playground right next to the place, if your kids need to burn off some energy.

Hulett is a small town in Northeastern Wyoming, about 9 miles north of Devils Tower.  This area is know as the Bear Lodge Mountains – which is the far Northwest portion of the Black Hills National Forest.

The natural beauty of the area is simply breathtaking.  Take some time to drive around and enjoy the scenery.

You may have heard of Hulett’s Ham n Jam.  It is a popular day of fun during the Sturgis Motorcycle rally.  The town fills up with hungry bikers.


If you find yourself in the Hulett areas be sure to try the Best Burger in Wyoming (that I’ve had – it is the only one, but maybe I got lucky on the first try).

We enjoyed the Memorial Park fireworks in Rapid City last night.  We parked in Founders Park and had a great view of the show.

The park has a great tailgating atmosphere.  Everyone seems to show up a few hours early and just enjoy hanging out in the park.  The fireworks generally start at about 10pm.
