      • The Black Hills
        05/28/09
        We left our wonderful parking spot in the grasslands and headed for Mt. Rushmore. The internet was awesome there and that was the only thing we were doing that day (plus we had to pay $10 for parking) so we decided to hang out and work some before walking around the park. I got some great closeups

      • Badlands Day 2
        05/26/09
        We left the campground and drove the loop. There were lots of neat pull offs where there were gorgeous views. There was one short, but tough hike. It was only a quarter mile, but it was completely up the side of one of the buttes. There was another trail that kept going up to the very top of one

        05/25/09
        We left the Grassland this morning and are in the Badlands now staying at the campground. The landscape is very neat. There was a nature trail that went through an area with gorgeous cedars. There are very noisy Meadowlarks all around the campground, which is neat, but might get old in the mornin

      • Pierre National Grassland
        05/24/09
        Yesterday we went to the Pipestone National Monument. Nothing too exciting, but the trees were neat, and lots of pink rock. :)
        We drove a long time yesterday to reach the Pierre National Grassland. This isn't too far from the Badlands. We are going to stay here for the day since it is a

      • First Full Day
        05/23/09
        We drove until about 10:45pm, until we reached the Rum River State Forest. We drove down a rode and found a parking area, so we stayed there last night. Unfortunately, the kitties were noisy, it rained and we were woken up by mosquitoes, so Joe and I didn't get much sleep. Jenny is apparentl

      • We're Off!
        05/22/09
        We spent the day cleaning and packing up the RV some more while we waited for UPS to show up with a package. It didn't arrive until about 5:45. I didn't get the house cleaned up (sorry Mary), but we were otherwise ready to go when the package arrived. We left at about 6:00, drove down 1

      • RV Trip!
        05/21/09
        Well, we have decided to drive Jenny back to Salt Lake City via the RV rather than buying her a plane ticket. We plan to stop in Rochester to visit Rebecca and Andrew and then we'll be heading through South Dakota to see the Badlands. Jenny has to be back by June 4th, so we'll have some

      • Driving Adventure
        05/05/09
        Yesterday, Joe, Jenny and I decided to go on a bit of a driving adventure. There is a national forest not far from our place, and we hadn't gone there yet, so we decided to check it out. Well, Joe printed out a little map and even drew some out. Unfortunately, it ended up not being as thorou
