Sioux Falls was a city that I just did not know much about. It was on our route back home and a decent sized city, so we scheduled a 4-night stop over. It did turn into an interesting but stormy city for our visit. We enjoyed it, but not the severe thunderstorms and a tornado! Here’s a recap…
Sioux Falls, SD Tornado
Severe weather and tornadoes do not mix well with homes on wheels such as trailer parks or RV parks in our case. On Tuesday of this week, the weather service was predicting severe thunderstorms, but we have been through many while in our RV. Although the storm on Tuesday was much more than I have ever experienced and hope to never experience again! We are safe and here is a quick update.
Custer South Dakota – Part 2
Our week long stay in Custer just did not seem long enough to be able to see all of the major attractions and as a result we were quite busy. I would have liked to get back to the Custer State Park a few more times for some of their great hikes. Overall, it was a great week and we will probably return one of these years.
Custer SD – Part 1
We had booked this place for a full week, knowing there were several things we wanted to see and do. But, it turned into a great week that was completely filled and we could have stayed longer, but we have this darned schedule that keeps us rolling in a southeastern direction. And we also survived the infamous Iron Mountain Road! There was so much to share that I had to have another two part update!
Travel Update Sept 2019
The Fall Season is almost upon us. The nights are getting cooler while we are in Wyoming and now South Dakota. The RV parks are much quieter and not very busy as the family vacations are over and the kids are back in school. Both a good thing in my full-time RVer opinion. Today’s blog is a travel update and some other thoughts…
Spearfish South Dakota
Next up on our travel plan is the town of Spearfish South Dakota as we continue our southeastern trek. There are many things to see and do in the local area including the historic Deadwood SD.
Devils Tower Wyoming
The Devils Tower Wyoming was only a three day stop for us, because the tower is literally all there was to see. But what a sight it is. Kind of hard to believe when you look at it. Nothing else like it in the world. When driving in and top a hill and there it is! Awesome…
Sheridan Wyoming
The small town of Sheridan Wyoming really surprised us in how well preserved it is and how many businesses are located in the historic downtown area. It appears to be thriving! The old building architecture is beautiful, the town has several murals painted, and they have bronze sculptures everywhere downtown! It was a fun and interesting four days…
Cody Wyoming – Part 3
This may be the first time that I have had a had a three part blog update for one location. But, we were in Cody Wyoming for two weeks and there is so much to see and do. We really enjoyed our stay and the whole mountain state tour. So, without further ado, here is the final installment!
Cody, Wyoming – Part 2 of 3
We just finished our two week stay in Cody, Wyoming and boy was it packed with activities! Cody is a charming little western town and the home of Buffalo Bill Cody and a nightly rodeo during the summer months. It is also next door to Yellowstone National Park. We were quite busy plus a visit from our son Bryan. So, grab your favorite beverage and sit back to enjoy a perhaps longish recap!
