Day 24 July 26th 2011:
Before I begin, I need to wish Michael a very HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY…it is staggering he is 16 already!
Tonight I am writing from Custer, South Dakota! The weather in Billings was HOT, so we decided to push out and get to cooler territory…back in the mountains, this time in South Dakota, man are we getting close to NJ! YIKES….some 5,400 miles and 14 states already!
The day started off at a local amusement park of sorts where the boys and Patty raced a few laps on the Go-Kart’s followed by some arcades. Then it was off for a nice drive.
Since we celebrated Michael's Birthday in Salt Lake City, the day was semi anti climactic as a “special” day for him…so driving and allowing him to play PS3 and sleep was a great Birthday…especially since the Motorhome is air-conditioned…what a tough life…
The evening ended with a nice dinner Patty made with a sponge Bob piñata, and a little cake with a candle. There were not many photos today since I was too lazy to pull over, and the windshield was infested with bugs…you need to trust me when I say it was another amazing scenery day, and it is confirmed once again I love this type of scenery. Seeing the white cap mountains of Big Horn was just awesome. We did not go over those mountains today but have in the past and seeing them brought back that thrill!
This area just reminds me of an immature Rockies. There are just tons of little formations that just haven’t grown up yet, and to be ubber geeky all I think about is what was it like hundreds of years ago when you only had a horse to travel the country…and what was it like to crest a ridge and see the badlands in front of you…simply awesome is all I can think of!
Tomorrow we sight see the area and then we are not sure where we will end up…you will know when we know, so for now I will say good night and speak to you on the next Blog….so until then please have a very BLESSED Day!
300 miles of this...very tranquil!
See baby mountains...just not grown up yet!
Neither boy let mom win!
Poor Sponge Bob didn't have a chance!
Happy Birthday Michael...
Happy Birthday Mikey. How did you get so old. Glas I am slowing down so you can catch up with me. Hope you have a wonderful day.
