Before the 2007 tornado, the main tourist attraction in Greensburg was The Big Well. In the center of that circle of Dakota sandstone is the cover to the Big Well. Apparently a lot of tornado debris landed down in that well and it took some work to clean it up. But, you can’t go down …

Forest Hill
A mile or two down the road from Toad Hollow is this peaceful little cemetery. My mom and I stopped here for a few minutes. It’s not a very crowded and has a nice serenity. I wouldn’t mind being buried here, although actually I’m leaning toward cremation. We’ll see, I guess. On the back of …
