HagaFinn RV Travels: Heading West

We had a good day yesterday visiting Pamela's family in Rapid City, South Dakota.  We were able to have dinner with Floyd and Virginia Reidt, their daughter Linda, her husband Glenn, and their son Brock.  Their older son Stephan also stopped by and we had a chance to meet them.  It was a good visit and you never know if you are going to see these folks again.  Virginia made fried chicken and Neil ate enough to make her proud!

We left just in time to drive back to the Mount Rushmore KOA Kampground and return the rental car that we had rented for two days.  It was nice to drive the scenic loop in Custer State Park and see buffalo, antelope and other wildlife from a car.

We have decided to quickly return to Oregon over the next several days so that Pamela can keep a doctor's appointment, so we should be home by this weekend.  Today, we made very good progress as we drove from Mount Rushmore to Big Timber, Montana.

Attached below is a photo of the northern side of Mount Rushmore--most people don't get his view!

It feels good to be in Montana where there are trees and the temperatures are only in the 80's.  We will have to rethink these summer time trips anywhere but the west coast and Canada.  We are heat wimps!

Thanks for visiting,

Neil and Pamela
