Don't want to forget some of the best shots from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. This was such a beautiful place.

Sure want to keep everyone up to date. I have been posting to Face Book, but understand there are those of you who would rather follow this on my blog so here come a bunch of pictures from across South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and Idaho. Covered a lot of ground but saw a lot of great sites. The Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Sturgis, Wall Drug. A few places we are going to have to catch on the next jaunt. One of which was wounded knee memorial. Don't believe it looks like much but has such great meaning. Enjoy the pics.

We traveled across Wyoming today. Was a very interesting trip. From the Mt. Rushmore area to Jackson Hole Wyoming. Mostly enjoying the lay of the land. Sure is a lot different than Illinois and Wisconsin. I have a couple of videos and a few pictures to post on here and on Facebook, but this internet connection is too slow so I will wait to update you until another time and a faster connection.

Glad to see a couple of you are following the blog. I really appreciate it. Thank you.

Just having fun checking out South Dakota hotspots. Checked out Sturgis to see what's happening. They had a big flea market and booths all up and down main street. Had some fun with a fellow in a tee shirt shop who didn't want to believe we were brothers.

Then we took a ride through the black hills up to deadwood which also had some kind of outdoor market.

Then shot up to see Crazy Horse which was not too impressive and then on to Mount Rushmore which is well worth the $11.00 parking fee. 

Tonight we are settling in at the Econo Lodge in Keystone after going out for a beer and a dish of nachos. 

Off to Jackson hole Wyoming in the morning. That will be a long ride but more fun.
