After a long chat with chat with fellow T@B owners early evening, some late evening bison campground visits, and a late night hailstorm, we settled in for the night in order to get an early start this morning. Of course there were bison sightings as we were leaving the park.

As we made our way south on US-85 from Medora to Sheridan Lake we saw wide open spaces, buttes in the distance, Sturgis bound bikers, long straight highway stretches uphill and downhill, motorcycles, wide loads with wind turbine generators, cattle, cattle, and more cattle, sheep, motorcycles, horses, motorcycles, wide loads with wind turbine generators, an automobile boneyard, toy haulers loaded with bikes, a cowboy riding a red, white, and blue missle, Sturgis bound bikers, lots of big sky, ranch land as far as the eye can see, toy haulers behind motorhomes, endless fences, and the Black Hills in the distance. As we get closer we see hundreds and hundreds of motorcycles everywhere as we pass through Deadwood. Long strings of cyclists up and down the highway. And then we pull into a delightfully quiet campsite with a view of Sheridan Lake. Plans to drive into Rapid City but a hailstorm to weather first!

    Making that trip at the speed of horse-drawn wagon without the modern distractions must of been . . . . . boring?
    Hail storms really are common up there. How are Eric and Gigi handling them? Little stuff?

LATEST

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.
