HOME AGAIN, HOME AGAIN, JIGGIDITY JIG

6163 - Total Kilometres travelled.

States driven through - Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Kansas. Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana.

Hours spent in the truck - too many to count.

Surprising sites - The windmills in Montana. There are fields full of windmills, that looked like some creature from outer space. Those things are huge.  And they looked even stranger on Tuesday when they weren't moving - at all.

Antelopes on the prairies.  There were hundreds and hundreds of antelopes. There were more antelopes than cows in the pastures.  We saw so many that we stopped pointing them out.

The Feed Lots in Kansas. Kansas around Dodge City is home to many many feed lots.  I'm not talking about small feed lots either.  They were huge!  Fortunately, on our trip home we drove through a very different part of Kansas that was very picturesque, with rolling prairie, and sunflower fields.

Mount Rushmore. Defiantly worth the trip.

And why did we drive to Bartlesville?


So that Grandmas could walk to the park.


So someone could crawl through the tunnel.


And since the one of the reasons for this road trip was to see sites that were written about in Western Novels, someone had to ride a horse.


We went to Bartlesville to visit, and relax and hangout.


The typical tourist photo - no sock included.
