Best Western Four Presidents Lodge Keystone

... I refused to ride in my bed (where the original attack occured) so I went as far as I could go to the other side of the seat and watched for the beast to attack again. Everyone knows that those things are just full of germs! We stopped at a rest area, and I ran around in the grass for awhile. But when I got back in the truck it was still there - waiting for me. I was so nervous I hardly got any sleep ...

... City a stop for an hour- this is the train workors lunch time- other trains have a 15 minute turn around time. As we waited to board the return train we find out that our return train will be the steam engine. Of course Andrew loves the steam train but pn the return he was afraid. He gave a little scream each time the train blew it's horn as it crossed the road. Well of course there are 20 road crossings on the trip so 20 ...

... a few coins into the enclosure surrounding the monument. I like our guides' take on the clowns who toss money at Wild Bill - why would you want the luck of some bloke who was nearly blind, nearly broke and suffering from syphillus - particularly when the same guy was shot in the back while he was playing the only lucky hand of poker he had had all day. As for Jane, well, lets just say, it sounds like the TV show had ...

... it would take to include a stop at Mt. Rushmore en route, and it equated to be about another two and a half hours. South Dakota instead of Nebraska? Let's do it! My Mustang was loaded up and ready to go, so all we had to do was wake up and take off. Originally, our goal was to wake up on the midnight of Christmas Eve, and leave by 12:30 a.m. that morning. It was to take about six and a half hours to get to Mt. Rushmore, then another nine and a half ...

... there are pictures of the floods in 1997 which completed flooded the area in which we are camping, even though we are some distance from the Red River. On our way, a deer crossed the road in front of our camper and then seemed very confused and darted about the median. It is easy to see how they get killed on the roads. We arrived quite early in the afternoon and have taken the opportunity to get our laundry washed and get organized for our arrival in Winnipeg tomorrow.

... set off to find the campsite...ha ha ha. It is getting dark, we are on a dark treacherous mountain and we are unfamiliar with the area. In the fading light I can see how beautiful the area is...I'm navigating...so at a turn out I tell James to stop so he can see as well. Well it turns out we are on the mountain across from Mt Rushmore and we can see them pretty well. There are some others there as well and they are waiting for the ...

On Tuesday, June 17, Don walked to North Dakota MP 352 and to Grand Forks. TOTAL MILES 11,259. Catch Don on the WDAZ-TV News: http://www.in-forum.com/av/index.cfm?fi lename=wdaztv10&type=wdaz After the newscast loads, skip to minute 24. As Grand Forks is a large metropolitan area, there are several stories that Don tells me of meeting people on the road there. One young man, Jeremiah Watson, a vice ...

We stayed at Thief River Falls in a campground at the city park along the river. The wildlife refuge is located 15 miles north on route 32 and east on route 7 on a gravel road for 8 miles to the entrances of the refuge. The visitor center was located 6 more mile further down the road. After the rains the roads were to my liking good and muddy so you can slip and slid. After 8 miles of slip and sliding ...

... little park to be built. We spent the early afternoon in Minot at the Scandinavian Heritage Park. Beautiful replicas of Norwegian dwellings and a church as well as other Scandinavian imagery and buildings. It reminded Rory of things he'd seen in Norway back in 1976; just no snow. US Geographic Center is in Rugby, ND .../stifles yawn Back on the road heading east, we had no major stops ...

... area before I ran out. I would be hitting Rapid City soon so I figured I would get gas there cheaper. Gas was my major expense so I always kept close of it as I went along.
The Badlands National Park was my main destination for the day and at Cactus Flat I headed south and entered the northeast entrance. I stopped at the first scenic overlook by the gate and then the Big Badlands Overlook where I took the first ...
