Short Visit

Our original trip plan was to continue up the Washington coast on route 101 to the Canadian border and then go east via the Lewis and Clark trail into Montana and Glacier National Park. Well, those plans have changed. We are having issues with the couple living in our home in Pa, so John made the decision that we should start east sooner. We traveled into Washington as far as Ocean City and then headed east. We stopped for 2 days at Lake Easton to dump, do laundry and get water. It was a very  nice little park.
 

We used Camp Wal Mart across Washington, Idaho, Montanna and Wyoming until we reached the Hart Ranch in Rapid City South Dakota. We are staying here for a week to make some phone calls and arragements for some unexpected issues. Two problems have popped up.... or should I say down. The dash board air conditioner freon level is down and needs more gas. In addition John's side of our sleep number bed won't stay inflated. We are trying to find places along our way across the country to have these issues addressed, soon. In between we have managed to visit  some neat places around Rapid City South Dakota.
Custer State park was my favorite so far. Here are some pics...
 
 
We sure were glad we were driving the Jeep ( not the motorhome) when we came through this tunnel. There were at least 6 of these along the route, right thru the mountains.
 
We also visited the Badlands National Park.
 
 

As soon as we receive confirmation of appointments we will be headed east again.
