A scene from the heartland at harvest time. Traveling west on US-18 from Forest City.

Camped overnight in Armour, SD park operated by the Lions Club. Very quiet, nice park with electric - donation requested. Water and dump are available.

Our rig in the Sage Creek camp in the Badlands National Park. This was a beautiful spot but not a good road to get there.

Buffalo occasionally roam through the Sage Creek campground, and the Coyotes howl at night.

Devils Tower in the mist. There is a nice 1.2 mile hiking path which circles the tower.

MJ in the Devils Tower boulder field. These chunks fell off the tower formation. No worries though - no stone column has fallen down in the 100 years since the the monument was established.

The parade grounds at old Fort Laramie, Wyoming. A very interesting historic site with reconstructions and original buildings. The fort was closed in 1890, and was a main stopping point on the trails to the west.

Petrified Redwood tree stump at the Florrisant National Monument. These trees were up to 14 feet in diameter.

Here we are on the road up Pikes Peak. We could only get to about 11,500 feet because the peak was closed due to high winds this day - too bad - but still many nice views.
