The End of the Rainbow
Sometimes words simply can’t do a picture justice. So today – few words. Travel blog reader Melissa Hurley sent us this photo of the amazing double rainbow that appeared just outside of Nemo last Saturday. A brief spring thundershower had just rolled through the area and she happened to have her camera handy.
It’s rare to actually see the end of a rainbow at the point it touches the ground. Some folks like to think that there’s a pot of gold at the end of rainbows – but I think this picture proves that the Black Hills are the real treasure waiting to be found
Thanks, Melissa, for sharing your good fortune with us!
Joe is a resident of Spearfish, S.D. He grew up in the tall-corn state of Iowa, where he developed an early interest in all things outdoors. After high school he moved to Vermillion, S.D., where he earned his bachelor’s degree in public relations and advertising.
During his college years, two things caught his attention: the beauty of western South Dakota’s Black Hills and a girl from those Black Hills. After graduating from college, Joe traveled across the country as a recruiter for the University of South Dakota. He saw the sights from Pittsburgh to Las Vegas and everywhere in between, but it was the Black Hills (and the girl) that kept drawing him back.
He and wife moved back to the Black Hills in 2008. He's an avid hiker, mountain biker and road cyclist whose future plans include trying to fit a pair of kayaks into the spare bedroom.
