Wild West Trip
We took a wonderful 3 week trip out west in May. This was a much needed vacation as we hadn't really been anywhere since "Katrina" hit our area last August. We managed to avoid all the crowds by going early in the season - it really made driving enjoyable. We toured the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone and managed to see the last remnants of snow. Our next stop was Devils Tower, SD - a really impressive piece of rock and also the very first National Monument created by Pres. Teddy Roosevelt. From the Tower we toured the Badlands of SD - very interesting landscape, sort of moon-like. Leaving SD, we drove through S. MN to Spring Grove to visit with Janna and Len Myrah, the sheep, and Cleo ( the dog who visited a pig farm !). Our last stop before heading home was Kiethsburg, IL to visit the grave of Paul's great grandfather, Louis Napolean Charbonneau. We had a safe and wonderful holiday and are already planning another spring trip our west to new sights next year.
