    A few days ago, we arrive at Horsetooth Reservoir, just west of Fort Collins, and quickly set up camp. It is a gorgeous Colorado Day.  The Lake is as smooth as a mirror and reflects the landscape.  The drive was easy and uneventful….thank goodness.  Knowing Interstate 25 has some serious construction work…

    There’s a quiet beauty to Custer State Park with its dense forests, open grasslands, and towering granite.  The towns, more like villages, through-out the Black Hills have a laid back charm.  With the exception of Rapid City, you won’t find any chain restaurants or big box stores.  What you will find are…

    A couple of years ago, my daughter and I went on a road trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota.  My main goal and objective was to see the herd of free ranging buffalo.  I guess the proper term is Bison (Latin) but the name Buffalo (Europeans title) is more commonly…
