Carguy49's Road Trip

[killer1]

Have fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, here it is the 7th already. We did a little sightseeing on the way and got to Rapid City late Sunday. Saw some light snow out side of Butte and some light rain in a couple of spots. Oh, when we got up one morning it was 34 degrees, kind of cold, HUH.


On Monday we saw Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse. Very cool, but was foggy at Crazy Horse. My wife had never seen either of these, so was very impressed. Mt. Rushmore has changed dramatically in the 25 years since I had seen it.


On Tuesday we drove out to Wall Drug and spent a few hours looking at all the stuff (had some homemade pie there)and then went down to the Badlands National Park. Neither of us had seen that attraction so we spent some time and took several pictures.


Today we begin our journey back west. So first we will stop in Sturgis and take some pictures and then on to Devil's Tower. Who knows what else we will stop and see. Kind of just going where the wind blows or, if we see a sign and like it, we go to that.
We are having a ball and the weather, overall, has been very good.


Well that is it for now. I am sure I have forgotten something, but we keeping very good log of our trip and will let you all know more when we get back, whenever that will be.

Great that you guys are getting to do this. We were out west all summer with our RV (next summer to Alaska) and as usual Glacier National Park was the highlight. Bear Tooth Pass (Hwy 212 out of Red Lodge) is amazing if it's still open and you can go all the way into Yellowstone.

Cant wait to hear about that Alaska road trip. That is definitely on my bucket list.

Carguy49, I hope you and your wife are having the time if your life. A trip like that is better than medicine.

Well, here it is Friday Oct. 9th and we are in Missoula, Mt. and still having fun.
Since this trip was planned around my wife's health, want to say she is having a great time. Having to take a few pain pills along the way, but that is what they are for - comfort.

We have had great weather and are thoroughly enjoying each day of our trip. Spent Thursday night with my wife's cousin near Helena, Mt. Got off the Interstate for most of the day today and saw some very cool sights. Small town America is very cool. We spent an hour or so at a Memorial in Butte, Mt. for all those who lost their lives in mining accidents - very emotional to see.

Leaving here in the morning and back roadding it from Spokane to Grand Coulee Dam. Will probably spend the night at the dam, and possibly going up through Leavenwoth, Wa. Not sure of the rest but will probably be home either Sunday or Monday.

Thanks to all who have left comments

Danny - I will call you soon after we get home, hope all is well with you, also.
Phillip Marvetz - Did not see a Durango towing a horse trailer but wasn't paying attention all the time.
