As we left Manhattan, Montana, thankfully it wasn’t foggy but we could see our breath outside. Time to move SOUTH, we said! HA We got into a little rain in Blackfoot, Idaho, but it didn’t slow traffic down at all. We got to Massacre Rocks State Park campground in American Falls, Idaho, and didn’t see... Continue Reading →
Wind, Packages, Missouri River Headwaters, & Bozeman, Montana
We headed on I-90 West for this Travel Day from Garryowen, MT to Manhattan, MT, near Bozeman. The landscape was very dry; we don’t know if it is always that way or just the end of summer. Even the grazing grass was dry. In Hartley, MT we started getting into much bigger ups and downs... Continue Reading →
Custer’s Last Stand & My Funny Mistake, Montana
On our Travel Day to Garryowen, Montana, I read out loud to Kevin the book I am reading, “The Summer of 1876” by Chris Wimmer. Excellent book! The cool thing is, right where I was in the book it is talking about the details of the battle at Little Bighorn. Kevin said “WE ARE DRIVING... Continue Reading →
Devils Tower, Wyoming, & South Dakota
Travel Day from North Dakota to Sundance, Wyoming. The drive was nice and mostly along a state highway. We started seeing some mini mountains. The fields are grass, not farmed, and we did see some cows grazing. We passed a sign for the turn off to the center of the country. The center of the... Continue Reading →
Theodore Roosevelt National Park, Part 2
Kevin and I, along with our friends Richard & Bridget, went sunset-chasing, again, in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. This time we had plenty of time and enjoyed watching from our camp chairs. (See last post for how we barely caught a sunset.) Chateau De Mores State Historic Site, Medora, ND, is just a few miles... Continue Reading →
Theodore Roosevelt National Park, ND, Part 1
We crossed the Continental Divide and we were shocked! What? We thought that ran through WY and CO. This was in North Dakota. Hum, must learn more and I did. This one is the Laurentian Divide, although the sign just said Continental Divide. Landscape Changing to Rolling Hills, New Salem, ND 08/25 Continuing on our... Continue Reading →
Around Fargo, North Dakota
We started the day at Fargo-Moorhead Visitor Center, in Fargo, North Dakota. The outside looks like a 3 story grain elevator but inside it is open from the first floor to the ceiling. There isn't any history or films but you can get a lot of information brochures about the area. You can buy postcards,... Continue Reading →
Our 49th State Visited! And, Another National Park
The scenery is the same as we have seen all around the past few states. Lots of trees, occasionally a view past trees that have been removed, no farming at all on our way to Ray, Minnesota. Ray is unincorporated and we see a church and the Boondocks Bar and Grill. Nothing else around. We... Continue Reading →
Friends, Blueberries, & Whales? Around Iron River, WI & Duluth, MN
Travel Day: Munising, Michigan to Iron River, Wisconsin. Top O’ The Morn Campground has a small lake behind it. I saw a pontoon boat and asked if they rent them. Yes, but the two they have are rented out all week. We are in a heat index warning and we felt it setting up. Our... Continue Reading →
Cousin Joins Us Near Pictured Rocks, Michigan
Travel Day: Sault Ste Marie, Michigan to Munising, Michigan. As we came to Munising, we said there are probably more tourist here than people who live here. 😃 In the town we saw advertising for pasties and also whitefish. We had some good views of the bay and Grand Island. It is funny, we are... Continue Reading →
