Cold rain and temps in the 60s but that didn’t slow us down. When traveling the United States, I really enjoy when the landscape and the trees change.

Montana is a state with vast areas of nothingness…the only green we saw on the east side was the money we payed for gas…The speed limit on interstate highways is 75 and 70 mph on secondary roads…we laughed because we went thru a construction zone and the speed limit was 65… and there is no Read more

WHERE IS WALL DRUG. Well, in Wall,SD, silly…We stayed in Mitchell,SD last night – was a LONG drive just to get here 🙂 I asked “him” about 2:30 – well, are you about ready to stop for the night – we weren’t out of Iowa yet. We checked into our motel and started watching football Read more
