"America the Beautiful"; I never really appreciated those words until I took this trip. Our country is very beautiful and beyond words. I know you all back home are viewing these pictures; however, they do not do justice for actually seeing the beauty of this country first hand. I wish and pray that each of you someday get a chance to see our country up close and personal like we are on this trip.
Friday, we set out for our journey home. We left at 8:00 am and drove through Utah. We took a detour into Colorado and then back to Wyoming before arriving for the night at 8:30 pm in Cheyanne, WY. Utah and Idaho are full of mountains. Colorado has the Rocky Mountains and Wyoming is very FLAT!
Saturday, we drove for 11 1/2 hours from Wyoming to South Dakota. Mount Rushmore was breathtaking. The monument is much bigger than I expected. We stopped at Mitchell, SD for the night. Tomorrow off to Nebraska and Iowa.
So far we have seen: cows, horses, rabbits, prairie dogs, sheep, sheep dogs, elk, camels (Yes, I said camels) buffalo, bulls, deer, crows, owls, and antelope. All of these have been along the side of the road........none were in zoos!!!
See you all later,
pappa and gramma
