Top 3 Lists
Top Three Coolest Things We've Seen and Done
Lara: 1-the Badlands; 2-Cliff Swallows nesting on the bridge over the White River out from Interior, South Dakota (we found them in the bird book--thanks, Mr. Jim and Ms. Sharon!!); 3-the flatness of the prairies
Mia: 1-Mt. Rushmore (it was so cool and I think that they didn't honor Teddy Roosevelt enough because he's back in a little corner); 2-the Grasslands (they have a lot of animals, including the black-footed ferret, which is endangered. And nocturnal, so we didn't see any); 3-all of the animals we've seen: toads, mule deer, horses, cows, bighorn sheep, longhorn cow-things, pronhorns, and, we think, a mink.
Danny: 1-the Badlands; 2-Mt. Rushmore (but where are the Democrats?); 3-the St. Louis Arch at sunrise
David: 1-the waves of grass on the prairies and grasslands; 2-the fossil trail in the Badlands; 3-Mt. Rushmore
Amy: 1-the Bighorn Mountains (holy smokes! Like the Tetons, erupting up out of eastern Wyoming--covered with snow); 2-the Black HIlls (a resort area is a resort area, but it was awfully pretty--and the "Caution: Bighorn Sheep Crossing Next Mile" signs through Hill City were cool); 3-Nick Clifford (the last living crew member who created Mt. Rushmore. We got him to sign a book for us and got a photo with him.)
We're camped on the banks of the Yellowstone River this morning, enjoying a breakfast of champions (powder-sugar donuts and orange juice), and about to cross Montana (Jen S., we saluted you as we drove passed Colstrip.) We'll pick up a rental car in Great Falls so we can get around the National Parks easier, then camp in East Glacier tonight. Hoping that your travels today are good ones, too!

Danny - A good question - Where are the democrats?
Mia - great animals out there. I love them all too. PS: you are right about Teddy!
Safe travels all. We miss you and pray for you every day.
Ms.Sharon/Mr. Jim
Love you!

The Bighorns are really cool. We followed a snow plow off the top one afternoon in a bunch of snow. In September..... Stop along the way in Montana and smell the sweetgrass
I was reading your postings out loud to Carson, and he said, "Well, Republicans were a little different than they are now back in the day--practically the Democrats of today." He's a college student majoring in International Studies (and there's a lot of Political Science in that major), so you know, he's an authority on such things! :-) I guess he and Stewart Clifton can be buddies now.
Dad and I used to fish in the Yellowstone River, up in Forsyth. Those were good times.

As for Jefferson, given his religious leanings and his understanding of God, I think he might have fit in well at Glendale...well, except for the slave owning part, he would have definitely needed to work on that. Did you know that he made his own edition of the Bible?
Much love to all of you!
