Holiday Inn Express Billings, Mt

I have picked up some kind of tropical disease, because that's what happens to adventurers - just ask Indiana Jones. It's a very clever disease. it's disguising itself as a common cold, but with a slight twist; and here's the masterstroke - I have a very painful earache with it. I have tried getting whatever's hurting in there out with a stick that i found on the ground but that just made it worse. See, I told you it ...

The Hampton was nice, new and comfortable. We woke this morning, enjoyed the hotel breakfast. We organized our bags and cleaned out the car; tossed out our cooler, food, drinks and utensils then headed for the airport. Billings is another extremely small airport. It was easy to park the rental car and walk to the gate. <br><br>Let the all day journey home begin....<br><br>We're delayed to Denver, 20 minutes.<br>

... accent<br>(http://www.youtube.com/watch ?v=K1zfG9No12Y&amp;feature=related<br>i f any of you reading are from another country)is the flavour of the<br>month in UK.<br><br><br><br>The hotel was beautiful, posh and well<br>kept. I headed up to my room in a daze, overwhelmed by the massive<br>TV, plush sofa and giant, comfy double bed and coffee peculator. I<br>showered and then collapsed in a jet-lagged, exhausted heap.<br>

We traveled to billings , because we wanted to get new tires on the truck, the little wear indicators were almost smowing so we thought it would be best to be safe  rather than sorry. Because Montana doesnt have any sales tax , its a good state to make big purchases. We researched on the net and it appears that  Costco is ...

... a word. Just listened to it all.<br>I was disgusted in myself and disgusted in every person on that bus- including the mother of those beautiful little things for allowing them to be subjected to that.<br>What could I do? In any other environment I maaaay have said at least something, but here, in the middle of nowhere- on a GREYHOUND bus was probably not the battle I would have chosen.<br>If 'tutting' was a punch in the face then I beat the **** out of him. If shifting ...

Helen, Danny and I decided that we'd covered most of the Black Hills so we packed up our rig and headed out for Billings. We traveled I-90 until we were in Wyoming, near Devils Tower.<br>Just in case you don't remember, Devil's Tower was the mountain in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and was the first national monument. We spent a short time at the monument listening to a talk about the geological formation of the tower given by a park ranger and ...

I didn't have the heart to blog yesterday - those of you who are good at reading maps will have noticed I only managed 166 miles yesterday (not the 805 I'd hoped) :-( It all started brilliantly.  Harry took advantage of our move into Mountain time to wake me up at 5.20am so we were on the road not long after 6.  The high grasslands in the early morning sunlight were absolutely stunning.  I had breakfast in Sheridan, where Buffalo ...

... in etchings which are still clearly visible. Some of the other etchings were made before horses had been introduced. The site is on private property, and the owners for seven generations (since 1884), the Bailey family, kindly allowed us on the property, then escorted us to the formation. They are very knowledgeable and take their stewardship seriously. To get to the ranch, we left paved roads and took a 35 mile drive on ...

... Deadwood thru more amazing Alpine scenery. The town is a tacky place full of casinos but we drove up the nearby hill to Wild Bill Hickok's grave (where you now have to pay $1 to get into the cemetery (??). It was kinda hard to get too close for a good piccie but here they are as promised approx one month since we left. We carried on into Wyoming to see the Devils Tower which is a plug of an old volcano - so what you see of ...

... a number of years ago presenting American history through the eyes of minorities, or those without the power and it gives a much different view than our textbooks give us. Anyway, enough of that, it was just interesting to get to see a place like that, something like Mount Rushmore but on the opposite end of the spectrum.<br> It was a beautiful day and after spending a couple of hours there I went on north and had a cheeseburger deluxe at the Schwarzwald ...
