Gone Fishing


We're leaving for a long driving trip to Yellowstone today. I may be able to post from the road, but it's not likely. We'll be on the road for a week and a half.


One stop I hope to make is this little 1880's town in South Dakota. It's claim to fame is that Dances With Wolves was filmed there. I realized my kids have never seen that movie so I rented that from Netflix, as well as Close Encounters of the Third Kind to bring to play in the car. Yeah, you've got to explain to the kids that stopping at The Devil's Tower Monument is important -- because Richard Dreyfus once made it out of mashed potatoes!!

Roadside America is a great site to find all those weird places to stop -- like The Corn Palace, and the Largest Ball of Twine!
