Steve,

Sorry for not getting back on this. I was out of town. My parents both grew up in Sioux Falls so I'm quite familiar with that area as well. I love it up here. We're going on vacation up north for a week in August and are really looking forward to the time away. I tell people that Minnesota is the best kept secret in the country. People think that it's always cold, but we get the best of all 4 seasons.
