We had plans to rip up the town in both Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming, but those plans were quickly modified as we nestled in our campsite at Curt Gowdy State Park, located midway between the two cities. Why exactly would we want to leave to go anywhere? (Full disclosure: we didn’t...
Leaving Custer, SD, we crossed over the Wyoming border into NW Nebraska. Many think Nebraska is nothing more than a “flyover” state, but we saw some really cool things! For instance … in Alliance, Nebraska, it’s NOT Stonehenge … it’s Carhenge...
Check out this “jewel” of a place in Custer, South Dakota: Jewel Cave National Monument! Indeed, she’s a bit of a hidden “gem” in this area, living in the shadow of other more well-known attractions such as Custer State Park and its thousands of roaming...
Destination: Devils Tower. The setting of the 1977 Steven Spielberg cult classic movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. We mentioned this to our 20’s and 30’s kids before leaving home, and were met with blank looks. They had never seen nor heard of this movie! Then we...

Early June: It’s 106 degrees back home in AZ — 41 degrees here in Montana. Though none is falling on us, the 10,000-foot Highlands Mountains surrounding the hillside town of Butte are blanketed in snow. It’s simply Butte-iful! Butte is called the “Richest Hill on...
We leave Idaho in the rear-view, and head into Montana, called “Big Sky Country,” and is it any wonder why? But I propose a name change to “Big Hat Country!” All you need to know about Ennis, Montana is the fact that there are seven fly-fishing stores in a three...
Spud. Tater. Tuber. Tottie. No matter what you call it, if you’re in Blackfoot, Idaho, you’re a-gonna worship it! Quite obviously, the Idaho Potato Museum shares with you all of the riveting history, agriculture, and economics of the state’s most important product and...
