Trailerin' with Ma and Pa

Just to review our travels I thought we ought to post a few photos. We'll skip the two days of Nevada and the Utah desert. We had a good visit with Kevin. This is his recording studio er..I mean living room.
We stayed an extra day in SLC. Here we are sitting on Brigham Young's couch. We had a distinct westward movement theme for the first several days. We enjoyed the church history museum at Temple Square as well as our Tabernacle Organ recital.

Does this look familiar? I can't fix it and neither can a Dodge dealership. The right brake light and turn signal for the trailer will not work. Everything else is performing just fine.


Jackson Lake with the Teton Range in the background is such a treasure.


Here is George Armstron Custer's marker. The spot to which they carried his lifeless body OR the place where he fell on "last stand hill."

Did I tell you that it has rained a few times. Especially in North Dakota.


Medora, the little city right next to Theodore Roosevelt NP featured all kinds of action including this gunfight. The Finnigan gang was dispatched by the good guys while we watched.

This is the fancy dining room on the ore ship that we toured. US Steel spared no expense back in the day when steel was king.


Duluth was a very pleasant surprise for us. Here is the big lift bridge at 135 feet over the water as a medium sized ship passes into Lake Superior.

Rocky Point on Madeline Island, Wisconsin. This is the turn around point on our 17 mile bike ride. The woods and coastline around the lake is just beautiful.

We saw another car like this one which was for sale, if you can believe it. The sign said, "Think ice road." We are here at the end of the season. Everyone is getting ready for "freeze up."
We will send installment II when we get a couple more weeks under our belts.

Maybe one day you guys can retire to Medora and wear fringe leather outfits and stage gunfights.. ahh, wouldn't that be the life. Either that or become ice road truckers.

Looks like you are having a blast.
