It's Mobridge--one word.  Actually went there last summer but did not
fish. There is a very nice CG there called Kountry Kabins and the owners
are quite hospitable. $17 per night for full hookup pullthrough. They
allowed us to receive our mail there.

The Sitting Bull memorial is quite interesting and right next to a
Sacagawea monument. There is a neat museum in town called the Klien
Museum that has an amazing display of ladies' hats grouped by color as
well as quite a lot of Sitting Bull stuff and othere interesting things.

The town arena is supposed to have nice murals, but it's closed on
weekends and we missed it.

There, I've made an RV post out of it!! <g>

Here's a true story that happened in Saskatchewan, a quote from the paper.

Fish story blessing for priest

 Record walleye catch brings odd fascination with power of prayer

 By Darren Bernhardt of The StarPhoenix

   The world record-setting walleye caught by Rev. Mariusz Zajac as he
recited a prayer of gratitude has ignited a business boom in his
northern community and an odd fascination with the power of prayer.
   Since hooking his whopper of a walleye while ice fishing in early
January on Tobin Lake in northern Saskatchewan, Zajac has had
parishioners bringing fishing lures to church on Sunday to have them
blessed. And a 44-year-old Chicago man facing cancer surgery contacted
Zajac, 2,000 kilometres away, seeking prayers.
   Old acquaintances of Zajac’s, living in other areas of the country,
have seen the story and renewed their connections with their fishing
friend. One of those, recently widowed after his wife died, has asked
Zajac to pray for him “to get through the difficult times,” according to
the priest.
   “The people, they open their hearts for different needs and I feel
honoured that I can help them in any way,” said Zajac, a kind,
soft-spoken man who was born in Poland and is now the head of the
Canadian Martyrs Roman Catholic Church in Carrot River, south of Tobin
Lake.
   The local newspaper in his Polish birthplace has also published a
story about “the catch” of Jan. 4. Zajac, 43, had been fishing for hours
with no success. Before packing up, he decided to jig a little more
while reciting the Canticle of Mary, which gives thanks to the Lord for
each day.
   “It is interesting how it all turned out,” he said. “That fish is a
ticket to a lot of things in my life.”
   People have been confessing to him their desire to start praying
more often in their daily lives.
   “It’s been an outpouring of the spirit, you might say,” chuckled
Zajac, who now refers to himself as Father Walleye, a nickname he
received from fellow fishermen.
   The fish is an 18.3-pound titan compared to the average walleye of
three pounds. It is such a coveted catch among anglers that photos of it
draw crowds at conventions everywhere, said Vince Walcer, manager at the
Tobin Lake Resort. He attends wildlife conventions to promote Tobin’s
renowned fishing and his resort lodge, whose website now proclaims, “We
are the home of the new world ice fishing walleye record.”
   “Everybody’s heard of that fish,” said Walcer. “And Tobin Lake is
known everywhere.”
   The lake was even used as a throwaway answer on the TV quiz show Who
Wants to be a Millionaire? Walcer noted. Traffic on local tourism
websites has shot up 400 per cent while business at the resort has
spiked this winter since the story came out.
   “The rooms are full every weekend just about,” said Walcer. “There
are also people driving up (from other parts of the province) for the
day just because of the big fish.”
   Bookings have “substantially increased” for summer 2005 but
significant changes being made at the resort to better cater to the
guests may also be contributing factors, Walcer added.
   “There’s definitely a lot more interest.”
   So admired is Zajac’s walleye that fishing fanatics filched a photo
that was posted on the Internet, then claimed it as coming from lakes or
rivers in Manitoba, Ontario and Minnesota. A beaming Zajac in the photo
was listed as an anonymous angler.
Walcer has made certain to dispel those rumours at conventions. “They
know now where it was caught. Oh yeah, everybody knows,” he said. Having
people lay claim to his catch humbles Zajac. “I’m really blessed and
proud. But I try to not put my head above it too much and that’s why a
focal point for all of this right now should be tsunami relief,” he
said. He believes the fish was a sign from God, telling him to help the
fishing industry in South Asia, which was devastated by a tsunami on
Dec. 26, just days before his record catch.
   Zajac is using his notoriety to spread that message to reporters,
fishermen and anyone else interested in his story.Anyone using a photo
of the fish is asked to donate to the Tsunami Fisherman Relief Fund at
the Carrot River Credit Union.
   “I am grateful that I can share with other people my good fortune,”
said Zajac, who started the fund by contributing $500.
   The money will go toward buying boats and nets for the thousands of
fishermen in 12 countries whose equipment was swept away.
   Saskatchewan Environment officials have samples of Zajac’s fish to
determine the age but results have not yet been determined.
   “If I was to take a wild stab at it, I’d say it’s 20-plus years
old,” said Murray Koob with Saskatchewan Environment’s fisheries
division. “I can’t imagine it being any less. A fish that size is not
much younger.”
   It has been certified by the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of
Fame in Wisconsin as a world record for ice fishing. It is also a
Saskatchewan record, period. The previous provincial record was 18.06
pounds, pulled from the river feeding into Tobin Lake.
   The world record walleye caught in summer weighed 22 pounds, 11
ounces. It was hooked in 1982 in Arkansas.
