Hello all!We're at day two of our time at the KOA Campground Hill City. Today is our day to visit Crazy Horse, and then do the lighting ceremony at Mt. Rushmore. First Crazy Horse, only 12 miles from Mt Rushmore, which is about 7 miles or so from the campground. We're in the perfect location! We entered crazy horse, which is a bit pricey at $27 per car, but we found out later they take no federal money at all. If you are not familiar with the crazy horse mon...

We have decided to head to Grand Teton National Park, which is possible after driving through Yellowstone. We're not sure how long the drive will be, but that is the plan. The drive was very difficult! There were mountain roads under construction, which was pretty stressful. We did see Elk in the water and Bison in the road everywhere, ...

Hello all!!We made it to Wyoming! Yellowstone National Park is a constant wonder and almost impossible to explain. As we pulled in we were able to see fifty buffalo crossing the road, waterfalls, rivers and geysers to name a few. We had lunch at Old Faithful Inn which was incredible. Joy and I both had Bison Chili, which was awesome. We saw Old Faithful and some other beautiful geysers and wildlife. More rain in the afternoon makes camping more difficult, but we'...
