Plotting A Road Trip For June

What better way to spend some time with my son Brendan than on a road trip. To where? North by northwest is how and wherever we wind up with enough time to get back home within a week (all the time he has) will be where. 

I am hopeful we will make it to Shell Creek Campground near Shell, WY. That was a stopover on my first cross country road tip, destination Missoula, MT (although we stopped there, we then went on some), with some friends many moons ago. We has been heading to Yellowstone but being the idiots we were, we did not realize that week would terminate in Independence Day weekend and the roads were already jammed. So we headed toward Cody, WY on some back-roads but had to stop in Shell Creek Campground because the road ahead was closed due to an avalanche (yes there was still a good amount of snow on the mountain tops). 

Anyway, it was excellent there and I hope it still is worth sharing with Brendan. Deadwood, SD and Mr. Rushmore National Memorial are also part of our plans and maybe going as far north as just crossing into ND (one of only two states which I have never visited, Hawaii is the other) or maybe even getting to Bismarck, ND or Fargo, ND to buy a used car or wood chipper could be possible. Hoping to return through CO, NE NM, down into western TX and back home.

I've got a rental SUV reserved but am left wondering if they will even be open by then, they are not open now at Enterprise. Maybe I should make  couple more reservations at other car rental agencies to be on the safe side. Of course, there is always my Corolla but I had planned on something a bit more comfortable for us and Skye the mongrel. As for Brendan and me, I think in an SUV, one can drive and the other stretch out if need be.

All the best,

In The Mood

The things I see while out walking Skye! Usually they'd be in the water in the drainage ditch but today for some reason they did it on the rocks (or at least on the pavement)! Rona V or not - they were in the mood!

All the best,

Remember Them On Memorial Day

I surely do miss getting my Buddy Poppy for Memorial Day each year, it might have seemed a trifle to some but was important to me as a way to honor and remember those whom this day memorializes. The Buddy Poppies used to be given out by members of the American Legion and of course I always donated something for mine. It's a small thing with which to honor our fallen but yet a rare and an exceptional thing to see today. Don't forget them, nor the reason why we honor them today, the members of our military who fell during time of war while defending out great nation!

In memory of all those who have fallen defending our great nation while in military service during time of war. 



 
All the best,
