Six weeks later. Made it home alive. About 10,000 miles and about as many bugs stuck to the front of my truck. Over and out.

We stopped in Butte and Missoula Montana.

Devils tower.

Coming down the mountain from Mt. Rushmore into Deadwood the speed limit drops from 65 to 25 mph. The welcome wagon was there to meet us and issue me a $90.00 speeding ticket. I guess casinos are not enough income for this town. Deadwoods big claim to fame is the death of Wild Bill Hickock in the Saloon #10 holding the deadmans hand of aces and eights. The problem is the are many Saloon #10's in town all claiming to be the real place. Very touristy. We did stop by boot hill to see Calamity Janes grave. I was expecting a cool old cemetary, but found more of an amusement park them with all new stones. Admission $1.00. Very touristy.

Mt. Rushmore

We almost forgot to stop at Wall Drug in S.D. Its a good thing they have billboards every 100 feet along I-90 reminding you.

The Corn Palace In Mitchel S. Dakota is a building completely covered with corn art , made from real corn! Every fall after harvest they strip it all off and redecorate it anew. Go figure!

We stopped at the biggest truck stop in the USA, outside Davenport Iowa.

No trip is complete without a stop at gramma's house in Davenport Iowa. She fed us pizza and gave us Crown Royal for the road.

Stayed 2 nights in Chicago. Highlights were Pizza Uno for the original deep dish pizza, the stained glass museum, and great thunder and lightning storms downtown. Low lights, people were generally rude.

We went to the beach at the great lakes

Ocean City boardwalk.

Maryland blue crab feast in Ocean city with Alan and Rita.

No trip to New York is complete without visiting Coney Island.
