We had a brief but wonderful stay at the Eaglerock Golf Course in Billings, Montana, a Harvest Host location. On the way, we drove through Sturgis. We are still a few weeks ahead of the annual motorcycle rally, but it was still fun to drive though. Hard to believe that 750,000 people can fit into…

We stayed two days in Rapid City, SD. On the way there we stopped and had lunch at Wall Drug (Now we know where the hell it is!). It was really fun to walk through the town, visit all the shops and just take it all in. After getting settled at the Rapid City KOA,…

It was a long but very pleasant drive to the Badlands from Omaha. The scenery on the way there was just stunning, low rolling hills of lush green vegetation, cows in the pastures, and you could see for miles and miles. We arrived and got set up, a process which is now becoming much more…

Sheila and her sister Peggy were such gracious hosts. We had so much fun! I can’t believe how much we packed into 36 hours! During…

The roads getting there were very narrow. They were two lanes, but barely wide enough for two vehicles to pass by. Sometimes we…

After leaving Melissa and Mark’s, we stayed at the Seven Sisters Brewery, a Harvest Host location. We sampled their beers, one had a 9.3% alcohol content. Wytheville was a neat little town with lots of history. It turns out Woodrow Wilson’s wife was born there. We enjoyed walking through the town and visiting the little…

We had a pleasant drive through the country backroads of North Carolina and arrived on a Thursday afternoon. We were greeted by Mark and four smiling grandchildren. To our surprise, Tegen is now 6′ tall at age 16. So fun to re-connect with everyone in person. Mark treated us to a delicious barbecue pork dinner.…

We crossed three states today, Lousiana, Mississippi and Alabama. We also took a bridge over the Mississippi River and arrived in Montgomery, Alabama mid-afternoon. And you guessed it, it was super hot! I told the gentleman at the front desk that we hadn’t had any precipitation, not a drop, since it snowed on us in…
