On the Road

We started our road trip this morning! First hurdle achieved as master organizers Dale and Jim got all our luggage to fit in our trunk. (Teri and I don't pack light). But it is vacation and the first rule is to never complain and do all tasks with a smile. And we were off. Just happy to be travelling away from everyday cares, worries, and work. Captain and Co-Captain in front (Dale and Jim) and happy passengers in back with pillows, blankets, games and books. I won"Who Wants to a Millionaire," so I guess the trip's on me! But Teri's way ahead in our card game. We stopped in at Martins Cove and were given the royal treatment by the missionaries there. They drove us all the way out from the visitors center. When I visited there with our Trek Group about 15 years ago, there wasn't anything there. No monuments, no visitors center, nothing. Dale, Teri and Jim had been there in more recent years and so have seen it like it is. It was very cool to be there with just the 4 of us and our guide and have her share some very inspiring stories. Tomorrow we're off to see Devil's Tower and will arrive in Rapid City. Having a great time.
