Yellowstone National Park - Wyoming Leaving South Dakota, headed for Yellowstone, we had our longest drive to date… finally stopping in Greybull Wyoming - after Morrow threw a strop, Tucker sorted the situation by sponsoring a $80 lodge - our 1st non tenting night since May (forever grateful Tatanka!) After a proper nights sleep, a non-communal shower and a meal cooked on a proper stove, we hit the road and arrived at Yellowstone mid afternoon. We knew the...

Mt Rushmore / Crazy horse / Custer State Park - South Dakota Custer State Park was next on our planned route, but the sods wanted to charge us $15 to enter, plus all the campsites were full (just bad karma all round) so we decided to push on through the park and found the perfect camp site near the town of Custer. We found ourselves quite nicely positioned to cover some major attractions. Woke up at normal time, and headed for the 4 old dudes on a rock. Aga...

We have never been in such humid temperatures; just being stationary resulted in liters of sweat pourin...

Madison - Wisconsin, Tucker's arrival Happy for some company, we were excited that Tuckers arrival had finally happened….. we made our way to the local Madison airport and waited for Buff to land. And in true Buff style, she already had names and telephone numbers of people from the area, so that we could take a trip on their boat the next day….She must've given them the wrong number cos they never called…. Within 2 hours of the big girl's arrival, we ...
