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…

Last evening, Ingrid and I discussed our travel plans for the rest of the year. While reviewing the bucket list, we flipped through the scrapbook Ingrid recently completed on our six-week adventure. What an amazing album! It brought back memories of some of the fantastic folks we met along the…

It’s Sunday and we’ve said our good-byes to the “Superstition Square Wheelers”. What great folks! It’s cold, at least for Phoenix. In the 50’s. It’s raining and the Superstition Mountain is taking on yet another look. We sit by ourselves in the Group Camp Area at Lost Dutchman State Park…
