Right now we are in Box Elder (next to Ellsworth Air Force Base), South Dakota.
Finally I down loaded some pictures. Here are some & more our in our album.
We left California on Sun. July 29th & made a fairly fast drive of it in 2 1/2 days. The first day we drove 520 miles on I15 to Beaver, Utah. Needless to say going though Las Vegas & general area was VERY hot. We were going though Las Vegas at 10:30 in the morning before it got really, really hot.
Our first pics we took at our over night stop in Beaver. When we got to the KOA there place was practically empty.
Day two we traveled closer to 600 miles to Casper Wyoming.
Along the route we took, one of the more interesting historical monuments is Independence Rock in Wyoming. It definitely stands out from the rest of the area as there aren't any other rock formations anything like it. At the base, it is signed by many of the pioneers that traveled that way.
Not my picture
The second night we spent the night in Casper, Wyoming. It seemed like all there were was either big motor homes or 5th wheels other than us of course. Naturally we gave a few tours along the way & a few people were really excited to see our TD having only seen teardrops on one of the TV programs.
Almost right next to us on a grassy spot were two wild rabbits. Could have done without the mosquitoes though that came out as soon as the sun started to go down.
From there it was just a half a days drive to our son's just past Rapid City, SD.
Parked at our son's place.
So far we haven't gone far or wide in the area. It has been in the low 90s which is warm for us. Thank goodness the mobile home has air conditioning. In the next day or so we should make it over to Sturgis.
David has helped our son, Vincent, put his new fancy double liquid cooled computer together & is helping him fix a few things on his Chevy S10 truck. I've been cooking some home cooked meals for Vincent & his roommate. Both are in the Air Force & Vincent just got back from the desert. I've also had the time to kick back & relax and do some reading.
Will post more pictures as time goes. We should start to head home in about a week & will have a more relaxed drive home hopefully with a northern route.
