  • On the Road – Travel to SD

     Today I left Wyoming and headed to Rapid City, SD.  It was a driving day and no museums were on the schedule.  As I pulled out of Laramie to get on the many state roads that would take me to… Continue reading

  • On the Road – Utah

     When I left Reno I hit US 50 and got within a couple of hours of the Bonneville museum in Wendover, UT.  I decided to find a hotel and get some rest in Ely.  After getting up bright and early… Continue reading

  • On the Road – Reno, NV

    This morning I woke up early.  I mean really early – because a bear and her cubs were rummaging around in the motel’s dumpster.  Not a big deal, just a little noisy. It was a very pleasant motel in Walker,… Continue reading

  • On the Road – the second day

    It is always a good sign when you sleep well in a hotel.  After reading some in a rocker on the porch I was able to put in enough time before going to sleep so that all of you would… Continue reading
