Does it count if you really want to go to DeSmet and see the Ingalls place, but haven't yet?

Doesn't count 'cuz I've done it and you haven't nyah nyah! :-P

If you go, pack a lunch, because there's no good food in DeSmet.

Especially if it's a 21-year winter and snow's over the top of the house! :) Sometime I should check up on that cycle and see if it really was true that it came every 21 years.

If it did, it doesn't anymore.

I remember hearing back around 1980 that El Nino used to come in 7-year cycles; I sorta assumed that had something to do with The Big Winter, but I've never confirmed anything.

Nice to know a fellow Laura Ingalls geek! :-)

Yeah...I still get the books out of the library every couple of years and read them...my set fell apart a long time ago. And I've read up on some of the books about the Ingalls, not a lot but what I could find. I tried reading "Little House in the Big Woods" to my son, but we never got past the part about the dead deer hanging in the tree. :( I'll try again in a couple of years, and maybe we'll skip that part.
