Lidia's restaurant Kansas City
This is one of Lidia Bastianich's restaurants of Food Network fame. It was so delicious. We were joined by April and Genie Martin, Burlington friends.
Corn Palace
This is in Mitchell, SD. Check out..
www.cornpalace.org/ We got there right at 5 pm so didn't get to see inside. Understand it has a basketball court in it.
Wall Drug Store
On this stay we begin our trip back to NC. We stopped here for breakfast. This store as a tiny drug store back many years ago when the population was around 323. Today it is closer to 850! Now it is a destination. Check out: http://www.walldrug.com/t-history.aspx
Coffee Mug
I hate this picture of me but I took to show you this special mug I purchased in a thrift store that was going out of business! I hate drinking my morning coffee out of styrofoam or paper cups, so when we were in Bemidji, MN, we couldn't find this breakfast restaurant we had read about and turned into the parking lot of this store and went in for directions. I realized I need a ceramic cup and purchased this hand painted mug that I knew I could keep up with. It is so ugly that I will probably never lose it!

We took a wonderful bus tour today. Started with a breakfast. Rode a twisty road to Rushmore on narrow roads through tiny rock tunnels on a big bus!
Crazy Horse
What a story about this carving which is largest in the world. This is not a good picture but is best I could do. To get hete we drove on the Needle Hwy.

Sturgis, SD
We didn't tour museum, but asked the lady there all about the recent Biker Reunion. There 400,000 to 500,000 people there! All motels within 200 miles were booked solid!
Buffalo Bill Museum
We were only able to spend about 2 1/2 hours here. It was 5 museums in one. Great!
Leaving Yellowstone
We were just outside the park when we rounded a curve and saw bison right in the middle of the road! I took pic with me ipad from the passenger seat.
Bull Elk in Yellowstone National Park
This elk was in the woods right off the road. Everyone was around him taking pictures. When he bugled we decided to leave. We also saw a mama bear in the bushes near the road. I couldn't get a decent picture....but I did see the head of the mama and one of the babies.
Craters of the Moon National a monument
We stopped here on the way from Boise to Jackson. It was so beautiful.

Dick digging in!
This was one half of a bigass roast beef sandwich. It had a delicious roll
with slow cooked roast beef covered by cheese covered by French fries!
Picture tells the story
While taking our long walk, we came upon this food cart. Portland is famous for its many diverse food carts.
Williamate River Walk view
Today we took a long walk by the river here in Portland. Perfect weather.
