Antique Car Museum, Murdo SD

Wooden Car

The General Lee
This was his favorite part of the trip. I think there was 34 different building full of stuff. The "Pickers" had just been there and the show will air in March. I asked how much the property was valued at, and was told no one has fully inventoried it.

Minot ND

Hopefully this is the last night on the road. We have a suitcase full of dirty clothes. The border guards didn't even care to look at them. Just bought myself a couple of t-shirts, because Canada is more expensive, so didn't need to declare anything. There is still sunshine, but alot cooler than when we left. We had a good time, but are now anxious to get home. Chuck gave us a good trip and really took good care of us. Now I just have to lose all this weight I gained.

Swift Current SK

Arrived in Swift Current, SK for our nights stay. We left Banff and all the mountains for the prairies of Alberta and SK. Two more days on the roads. I heard that it froze in Iowa, so I'm guessing my tomatoes are going to be froze. The time went really fast and we've seen some beatiful country. I'm looking forward to downloading my pictures.

Bend Oregon

We arrived in Bend Oregon late this afternoon. We traveled through Idaho and across Oregon, not much to see and few people. Tomorrow we will be in Crescent City CA, so it should be alot more interesting as we move up the coast.
These hotel computers will not allow me to download my pictures. The weather has been beautiful about 88 today. These are not party people we are traveling with, so we get to bed early and leave early in the morning.

Day Two

Tonight we are in Cody WY. Today we traveled through the Big Horn Mountains. It was a beautiful day.
I keep running into this "Mary" she goes to Curves with Doris. She is traveling with 2 other women, I met her yesterday and again today. She thought she recognized me until she got up close and knew it wasn't Doris, when I asked her where she was from, she told me she knew Doris.
Tomorrow we go into Yellowstone. So far we are having terrific weather.

Day One

After and early start this morning we arrived in Rapid City SD for the night. We are in a brand new bus, as their other bus got stolen an stripped out in New Jersey in June. Things are going well, it seems like a good group. We visited a car museum and Wall Drug this afternoon. We stopped at Wall Drug 45 years ago when we came here on our honeymoon. Then it was just a stop along the road, now its a whole shopping complex. There is a bucking bronco here to have your picture taken on, I swear it's the same one that Dad had his picture taken on 50 some years ago. Tomorrow we will going through Yellowstone.
