Getting back to Nature

​As fun as the popcorn ball, corn palace, the museums, Nashville, the drive-in, and the Arch have been it feels great to get back into nature💕


Pretend that says entering Badlands national Park I didn’t get the picture on the way in so I got the one on the way out! 


These are sedimentary rock layers that are in different stages of eroding. 


Climbing the wall 60 miles of rocks forming the wall.  Surprisingly, you were allowed to climb.! 


They got to get their corn in ! Expansive volcanic rock called popcorn rock 🍿


Of course we had to stop, reminded us of the Cadillacs stood on end in Texas. This is a huge advertisement for a brewery so you go look at these fire trucks in various positions and pay $10 to do so; then that allows you to drive into town and pick up your FREE T-shirt😂 and actually go to their brewery! We left without our T-shirt. 


No, we didn’t stop and get tacos, but John thought it had a cute name picture worthy .  Going Into Custer State Park.. we’ll catch you tomorrow. Good night.💕

Does it really matter

 Really, I am not going to change it or try and fix it, that would require sending another link and confusing everyone especially me!  So the name of the Blog was suppose to be “Heads Carolina, tails California and then you have a title for each post.  Well I wondered where the “one mile at a time aka you never know when you’ll breakdown”came from.  Apparently I opened up an existing blog and just added to it,  well, that title could be any of our trips so it is staying!  Now I am really going to bed, we plan on leaving around 8 am tomorrow Monday March 9.  I downloaded the APP so I hope that helps, I see I am having difficulty with picture placement…by the end of August I should have it down! We did it, we left at 8:30, no wind, a little rain on the 8 and smooth sailing into Yuma for our $3.49 gas (high for AZ) Buddy is well taken care of by neighbor Bill and the various other dogs than run in our hood.   Our entertainment included our book “The ...

​where to start…  Gas buddy directed us to a gas station in Abilene, Texas that was $3.15 a gallon just off the freeway and there was a Walmart perfect! We need yogurt creamer, and M&Ms💕 it all seemed perfect, especially when we saw the Brahms ice cream store over the hood of this guy‘s truck,(for those of you not familiar with Brahms ice cream, It is the best but it’s only in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and may be a handful of othet state states.) then we noticed the sign that they were out of unleaded gas🥲 we went in anyways and got our three items in a store that we don’t think anyone looked happy glad to be out and over to Brahms John got a sundae I didn’t feel like ice cream I got a fry. It was OK. GasBuddy leads us to another gas station for $3.49 it was supposed to be $3.19 and everywhere else in Abilene is 3.19. we’re in a motorhome at 7 miles a gallon a few blocks we find the $3.15  gas, perfect! Back on the road on the 20 east and a new book we finished the widow a...
