Manhattan Project and North Cascades
I have made it through California, Nevada and am into Utah! I had a wonderful time seeing my younger brother, Steve, as well as my sister, Jenny! I promised that I would return next year, so it looks like I am committed to doing this all over in 2023. Let us keep our fingers crossed…

Devil’s Tower National Monument
If you have never been to the Tower, I highly recommend it be added to your bucket. It is an amazing place and there really is nowhere else in the world quite like it! Plan your trip in advance. The KOA has a few cabins for rent at a fairly decent rate, and it is…

Badlands and Mt. Rushmore
I am now in California and will be at my sister’s home for a few days. While I am there, I will, hopefully, get you caught up on my journey before I head kind of easterly!! LOL Until then, stay safe and enjoy life!!

Badlands and Missiles
Badlands National Park is a wonderfully different and immensely interesting section of this country. Since I was a small boy, strapping on toy gun belts with authentic western cap guns and a white colored ten-gallon hat, watching John Wayne chase bad-guys wearing the notorious black hats, I heard of “the badlands”. This was that section…

Cliff Hanger
Driving through the Badlands was awesome! The scenery was incredible (that will be the next post!) but watching the wildlife was really the highlight of the park.

Craters of the Moon
Okay . . . here we go . . . mu Subaru has been doing outstanding!! Snow, ice, dirt, mud . . . everything I have asked it to do it has jumped into it and powered through. We had a fun time on the 14% downgrade roads in Newfoundland (along with moose avoidance!) .…

KOA’s and WI-Fi
I am sitting here at the KOA (Kampgrounds Of America) outside Boise, Idaho, scratching my head 9AGAIN!!) about why a KOA site states they have Wi-Fi but at such a small band width that you cannot stream, play any on-line game . . . or . . . as in my case . . .…

Buffalo
Buffalo, often referred to as bison, are America’s top mammal. They once roamed this country almost from sea to sea and from our northern border to our southern border. South Carolina had a species of bison that lived in the forest. Killing off the bison was a method used by this country in an attempt…

Crazy Days!!
Okay!!! . . . Where did I leave off?? I must apologize for not being here more often. I am alive and well . . . slimmer and tanner, simply because I have been going and going, having too much fun . . . that I have maybe had one “good” meal a day, miles…
