Wrap Up 4

Well, as you may have noticed I'm not one to put my thoughts on paper but I'm going to try and tell you about our trip because it was a trip that every one should experience and one I'll never forget.

Everyone has pretty much said it all as far as the points of interest (Tom is a great tour guide) and the interesting people we met (mainly because Maryann is so good at breaking the ice.) but for me it was the fact that here I was on this motorcycle riding across this beautiful country of ours seeing the beautiful countryside and the wildlife that goes with it. I was in awe of the differences there were along the way from rolling hills to lots of corn fields that were so perfectly planted that it was like a big wave rolling along I started getting dizzy watching, oh and the Badlands and Devils Tower what about Mount Rushmore and oh! oh! and oh! too many more to put down but all wonderful to see. I had the camera in my hand most of the time while we were on the bike and I've been known to fall asleep on the bike sometimes so doing this kept me alert not that on this trip I would have fallen asleep and I really tried to take as many pictures as I could that would show how I saw things but that was Impossible because for one it's hard to focus on things when your traveling at 60 mph and a picture just doesn't give you that feeling of the wide open spaces you experience when traveling on a motorcycle.

The wildlife that we encountered was a big plus for me since I love animals. From the silly little prairie dogs to the big herd of buffalo that traveled in front of us and behind us on the road (missed the best of these pictures because I was toooo excited). Oh ya! there was this cat in the campground in Deadwood that we camped in that Maryanne started calling Evil Knevil because when we first saw it was on the other side of a very wide creek and as we watched him he crouched down and got his little feet going as cats do before they jump and over the creek he came we were all amazed because it was a very very wide space he jumped over. We saw wild donkeys and mountain goats and lots of deer and horses and cows. So along with all the other wonderful things that were already mentioned I want to say that the best part was being able to travel with two of my closest friends and my wonderful husband who was the one that finally convinced me that I had to go on this fantastic adventure.

Thanks you guys, I can't wait till our neeeext adventure!

P.S. That could not have been me because I heard it to and besides I don’t snore.
