Katie Author Archive Katie is a born-and-bred South Dakotan; she splits her “home” time between the Northern Hills and the hallowed halls of Carey’s Bar in Vermillion, where she is a senior at the University of South Dakota. She is just taking her first bites out of world travel; very literally, in what could only be described as “eating her way across Germany and Italy” in the summer of 2010.
Katie grew up in the Black Hills hiking, boating, riding motorcycles, and her favorite activity by far -- snowmobiling. All of these have cultivated a deep love and admiration for the history, scenic beauty, and adventure that the Black Hills have to offer. She feels “blessed” to be able to call this unique and spectacular place home. Email this author
