Home again home again.... or 2nd home

Well it's been a long time since Wenatchee WA!!!  Went thru Idaho, saw the infamous town of Wallace and the bordello museum cool little town.  From Butte went zip lining in Gallatin MT one word AWESOME.  Stayed in Bozeman that night and on to Yellowstone the next day.  Got to the park about 15 minutes before Old Faithful did it's thing.... PERFECT timing.  Guess stopping at the earlier geysers helped, didn't have such a long wait.  Drove into Cody WY had a great ride on an un marked newly tar and graveled road in RAIN..... 25 MPH for 8 miles which seemed like 80 all down hill..... From Cody WY it was off to Mt Rushmore outside of Rapid City SD..... very strange experience there, huge group of 'Pathfinders' according to one of the decked out ladies it is a co-ed group like girl/boy scouts.  Seemed kind of cultish and when looked it up on internet seems like it is associated with the Adventists ..... not far off.  So after a long and winding trip up the mountain we had decided to be a jump ahead of the rally and go to Sturgis for the night.  Lots of bikers, even thought the really doesn't start till next weekend sometime.  Got a later start than wanted to but arrive in Flom 8:45 pm.  LOTS of driving today..... but corn is ready and Lovise wants to be a corn queen before going to stevne in Fargo on Tuesday
We made it to the 1st platform, in Gallatin 
    Nomar in Butte

    Got the senior pass and into Yellowstone Wy
    Cool water tower down from the post office 
    At the 1st geysers, another Telma & Lovise  couple took this picture
    A very hot geyser pool, beautiful colors
                                           Thar she blows, Old Faithful
                                           Nomar after the geysers, he loved this little area off the road
                               A road pull out on the road to Cody WY
                            It started to rain after we pulled up, Telma thought she might melt LOL
                                                 More scenery on way to Cody
                                                                    Supper in Cody
Nomar liked the salad but both Telma og Lovise had liver and onions YUM

                               Sunset after the rain in Cody, picture doesn't do it justice!
A little after dinner treat, this had melted and been 'reconstituted' in some ice still taste GOOD
                                   Rest stop (ok pee stop) in WY
       Poor Lars (the GPS) had us doing a real Telma og Lovise moment off the road
                               Maybe this is Telma & Lovise's next adventure.....  NOT  

                Don't even think about it Lovise, looking over the valley below  
         Vi made it to Mount Rushmore, I must say I was a wee bit disappointed but....
                                               Lovise and the boys
                                                       Telma and de boys
                                                         The boys
             A road side scenic point (formerly known as a Kodak Moment)  BEAUTIFUL sunset
Deadwood SD old courthouse

                                More old buildings in Deadwood....

                                            Shirts for cheap



 

                                              Miles of nothing in ND
                                                  Rest stop in Buffalo SD
                                          Decoy in Amidon ND the smallest county seat in USA
                                                   Nomar liked his soup in Belfield ND
