I spent the day driving through Custer State Park and visiting the Crazy Horse Memorial. I took all of the Bison photos from the car unlike some of the tourist who were out of their cars and standing no more than 20 or 30 feet away.
I rode the 1880 train from Hill City to Keystone in the Black Hills of South Dakota. I didn’t take any photos on the train but shot lots of video later. I will add a link to the final video in a couple days. The engine you see here can pull 7 cars up the …
I left Devils Tower for Sturgis, SD. Even though the big annual motorcycle rally was over, I thought it would be fun to see the area so I have a better idea of where to stay and what to see if I come back for the rally someday. The metal sculptures are in front of …
While I was in Cody, WY, I took a drive on the Beartooth Hwy. which is part of the northeast entrance to Yellowstone. It runs from Red Lodge in Montana to Yellowstone in Wyoming. Leaving Red Lodge, Montana to return to Cody, Wyoming by a different route through Bearcreek, I passed the Smith Mine Disaster …

I spent the night at Lake Alva Forest Service Campground on the first …

With directions from a local and some google satellite scouting, I drove out 25 miles of dirt roads from Winchester Idaho to a point overlooking Hells Canyon. I stayed at Winchester Lake State Park about 35 miles SE of Lewiston. I went into town and got caught in a hail storm! Once I arrived in …
An all female camping club, Sisters on the Fly, visited Winchester State Park during my stay. They created quite a bit of excitement with their mostly classic campers.
I haven’t enjoyed a drive lately as much as I enjoyed the drive from Boise, Idaho to Lewiston, ID. Leaving Boise on ID-55, almost immediately you are into the mountains, driving along the Payette River. You start at 2500 feet and climb to a plateau at 5500 feet where I camped at Cascade Lake. Headed …
I stayed two nights at City of Rocks. It’s a beautiful area with lots of climbers coming to scale the granite so MAKE RESERVATIONS! The National Reserve is commingled with the State Park by the same name which caused me great confusion. All the NP sites are good for tents and VERY small RVs. Only …
