We spent a night at a truck stop with the big boys. I feel very save surrounded by these rigs.

We did some hiking in the badlands and had to climb this ladder.

Mount Rushmore













This is what Crazy Horse will look like when finished.
Bruce and I feel this is a very ambitious project
The sculptor died in 1982 ans 7 of his 10 children and his wife are completing it.
It is being sculpted in Black Hills South Dakota.
Sculptor Korczak Zionlkowski was asked to sculpt it by Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear.
"My fellow chiefs and I would like the white man to know the red man has great heroes, too."

June 8th Bruce and I celebrate 35 years.

It's official, Arcadia is sold. We got a decent price and as it stands now, we will bring her down to NYC in the fall where they will take her back to FL.

They are changing her name to Betty Lou. I get to keep the rug with Arcadia on it.

I cried!! But time to move on to new adventures.


On June 15 th Bruce and I flew to Whidbey Island Washington to pick up our new motor home.
I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the coach is. We bought it sight unseen, except for photos on E Bay, I was still a little nervous. I know pictures are worth a thousand words but I was anxious to see for myself.

Our first camp ground was in Ellensburg WA. Along the way we saw this Wild Horses Monument. The Wild Horses Monument is a piece of roadside art along I-90 in the deserts of Central Washington on a bluff above the East side of the Columbia River. The monument pays tribute to the wild mustangs who roamed these areas in days past. The wild horses, which are made of welded steel plates, are the work of Spokane artist David Govedare.
