August 1st, 2018 Today is our tour of Wind Cave National Park. We got up early and got to Wind Cave a little after the visitor center opened. There were three tours to choose from and we chose the earliest one. It was about a half mile and we went down about 150 feet navigating…
July 31st, 2018 Today we got up bright and early to head to Badlands National Park. It was about 2 hours to drive from our hotel. First impressions were good and it was more impressive than we thought it would be. I thought it was more going to be hilly but it had a lot…
July 30th 2018 Continued… I had heard funny noises coming from the right front tire but I couldn’t see anything wrong. But after we pulled over at the South Dakota sign, Goldie started making noises and we were unable to drive. We pulled over at a rest stop nearby and looked in. Long story short…
July 30th, 2018 Yesterday we drove from Billings to Devil’s Tower. It was a long drive but we got to stop at the battle at Little Bighorn Memorial.

April 9th, 2018 Yesterday we left Jackpot and made our way to Challis, Idaho. our first stop was the Minidoka National Historic Site. It was an internment camp in the 1940’s. It was pretty big and wasn’t even done when the Japanese arrived so they had to finish it themselves. They spent three years farming…
April 8th, 2018 Yesterday we drove from New Meadows, ID to Jackpot, NV. We stopped at the Bruneau Sand Dunes near Twin Falls. It was incredibly windy while we were there. Thirty to forty mile winds kicked up a lot of sand too. We climbed to the top of the little sand dune and it…
April 6, 2018 We are off again! 3rd annual Spring Break trip. Today’s destination is McCall, Idaho. We were supposed to stay at Zim’s Hot Springs but have no idea if they are open. Just drove through Tensed, Idaho and saw a pack of wild pups. There were three of them and we almost stopped…
