Aug30. Today we are in Mitchell, so. Dakota.  We wouldn't be here accept Jim was kind enough to drive the 60miles out of our way for me to see the legendary,world famous corn palace.  It was all that and the orients favorite tourist trap today.  Understand we would be 60miles closer to Olathe if not for my tourist imagination.  We have set up camp for the night.
To bring our blog up to date.  Haven't had wifi forfir a few days.  So I will try to back track.
Aug.28 29 spent with Gary a friend of Jim's.  he comes home to Sharon,so.dakota every summer to harvest.  Jim spent his birthday,29th, on a rather large combine loving every moment.  I nursed a migraine.
When we left Sharon on the 30th, Jim had backed the car trailor wit the car on it.  This fouled up loading the car the next day.  Lost the ferrying on front of the car.
Spent that night in a city park in Estelle, so.dakota.  When we left the next day broke off water faucet creating a new water fountain in the park.  Also shredded our sewer hose.  We have not had one problem until we started home.

Other so. Dakota memories include 2 days spent in medora,so. Dakota. Medora is the entrance to teddy Roosevelt national park.  This is a beautiful park and a short drive .  Saw close to 300 buffalo.  See pictures..  And they think the road is all theres. Also saw wild horses and mule deer and their young.  Saw a play in outdoor ampitheater and a teddy Roosevelt impersonator.  Excellent.   This is the way history should be taught.  We will visit medora again.

Before this spent several days in browning,mont.  we were there doing some family geanology on the Blackfeet Indians.  The reservation was dirty and completely lacking hope.   It is the entrance to the glacier national park.  I would think the government could make a better public example of this city for this reason.  So when you hear the Indians got a raw deal you can believe it.  I must compare this to medora also a national park city.  Clean,shopping,some restaurants.  Guided tours. Other entertainment.

Good evening.  It is Sat. Aug. 24th.  We have left Browning, Montana and are headed home.  Think we will be home sometime next weekend.  Our posts haven't been too exciting but we have had the time of  our lives.  God has surely created a beautiful and diverse country for us to enjoy.  We have watched wheat harvested from Kansas to Montana and now in reverse as we start home.   We have never seen  such big equipment as they use up here.  Went to Glacier Park in Browning, MT.  Glaciers will all  be gone by 2030.  Very  small now, better hurry up here if you wish to see one on US. soil.  Also did some Indian heritage  while in Browning.  Found nothing.  Back to square one.  When you hear the Indians complain about how they are treated, believe it.  Browning is the reservation for the Blackfeet tribe.  It was the most pitiful place I have ever been.  Dirty also. Well now we are in Glasgow, MT. for the night.  On to North Dakota tomorrow.   Love to all.  Hope to see many of you soon. (Shirley)

Shirley and our friend Nancy at an overlook on Bear Tooth Pass. What a view, two babes and a mountain

More Bear Tooth mountains. Charles krawalt, new reporter may have been right when he said this was one of the most spectacular roads in America

Look at this view in Bear Tooth mountain range. I thought it was hays but found out later it was smoke from forest fires In Idaho.
