Marquette, MI
We spent last night in a ski lodge! It’s a pretty big operation. There were at least six buildings for guests to stay in. They have their own restaurant. We came through in between seasons. They are, of course, really busy when there is snow. They also get many guests during the summer. We had…

Wisconsin/Michigan UP
We woke up in Duluth, Minnesota. It was in the 50s, and raining. Luckily the hotel we were at had an exercise room. We spent 30 mins on treadmills, then took showers, packed everything up, and headed to the oil changers. We had driven so many miles that it was already time to get an…

Duluth, MN
We drove past Minneapolis today. We neither one wanted to drive around in a busy city we didn’t know. But it looked nice. It was already 80 degrees when we got up, and we figured it would be cooler after driving north, so we didn’t try to exercise. It did cool down, especially as we…

When we got up this morning in Sioux Falls, it was only in the 70’s. We had found a riverside bike trail that was pretty long, so we went riding after checking out of the hotel. We only rode a little over twelve miles, but it made me tired! Sterling didn’t even break a sweat!…

Sioux Falls, SD
After we left Mt Rushmore, we drove from the west side of South Dakota to the east side. We discovered that three quarters of the people in South Dakota live in Sioux Falls! We drove through lots of farm country, and saw very few people. I’ve been taking pics of barns as we traveled. The…

Keystone, SD
We stayed in Keystone, a tiny little town just a few minutes drive from Mt Rushmore. It had a ton of touristy things to see and do. We had fun walking around. Here are some pics we took. These bears welcomed us to our hotel. Sterling and I were not sure Bigfoot could be co-opted…

Mount Rushmore
We are having a wonderful time traveling across the country and seeing people, sometimes a lot different, and some times very much the same as us. At both Yellowstone and Mount Rushmore there have been people from all over coming to see beauty in its many forms. We were also overwhelmed with the beauty of…

Wyoming!
When we drove out of Yellowstone, it was as if the animals all wanted to say goodbye. We saw this beautiful big horn sheep surveying his territory. We could even see the mist of his breath! We also found this lake. I was so surprised at the rock formations we saw! I’m pretty sure I…

Yellowstone 2
I’m not really an early riser, but sometimes I think seeing the sunrise every morning would be worth it! This is Yellowstone Lake. It was huge, cold, and windy! Our tour ended running late. How can you complain when the tour guide just wants to show you more beauty? I managed. 😦 It was seven…

Yellowstone
Sorry we have been out of touch for a bit. There has been very little wifi where we have been lately. Yesterday seems like it lasted at least 48 hours. We got up at 5:30am in West Yellowstone. We needed to be at Old Faithfull Inn for the beginning of our tour at 7:45. It’s…
