So Much to See

Let's see...Yellowstone was the last place I talked about. After a white knuckle ride down the mountain east of Yellowstone (I kept asking Ken to hug the yellow line) we drove through Wyoming and into the Black Hills of SD! Ken had never seen Mt. Rushmore and it's been 40 years since I was there so it was a great day. Of course it rained and the sculptures looked like they were crying, but it added to the look!

We saw more wildlife in Custer State Park and drove through six natural tunnels. It's a good thing we were warned not to take the motor home because some of the tunnels were shorter than the motor home!! There was one tunnel that was so small we weren't sure the Durango would get through, but Ken's great driving made it possible. The natural beauty and design of the Black Hills was wonderful to see.

From the Black Hills, we went through the Badlands of SD. Ken had a good description for them: a combination of the Grand Canyon and Sedona, AZ!! What do you think?

Driving across the rest of SD was loooong. We have seen enough corn, wheat, hay, sunflower and soy bean fields for a lifetime!! Mitchell, SD even has an auditorium named the Corn Palace with pictures created out of corn on the outside of the building. This country is very diverse and different from what we're used to!!

Got to Minnesota on Friday and spent the week seeing family but I'll wait and write about that in the next few days. Ken's waiting to go explore the sights!
