Yesterday we arrived at what I have always felt was the real gateway to a Western adventure, sorry St. Louis.

Another early morning for us resulted in sweeping view of the Black Hills. We started the day with a wildlife drive through Custer State Park. If yesterday was the day to see ALL the bighorn sheep, then today was the day of the Pronghorn. Along with lots of pronghorn, we happened upon a small herd

On Thursday we took a trip down to the Space Coast. The drive was over three hours even though it is also in Florida and we kept driving for at least another three looking at houses and neighborhoods. We stopped once for a gas break which probably made it longer, but not by much. Finally
While staying at the RV park on Navy Station Mayport in Jacksonville, Florida we have spent an appreciable amount of time each day at the beach. The beach here is big, beautiful, and sparely populated. Those are a winning combination in our eyes! The waves were scheduled to be best first thing in the morning,
