Roadtrip so far

Hello everyone

So far so good. My dad and I are making good time. We are already on day 3 of the road trip and I can't tell if the time is flying by because I am looking forward to getting home or if it's the good company...either way I am excited that in a few short days I will be back home!

The trip started out by driving up to Portland OR. The day went fast but the sights were amazing I can only hope that I have engraved them to my memory. We drove along the Columbia river for a good chunk of the day. We passed mountains upon mountains.

From Or we made are way to Butte Montana. It was a bit chilly when we woke up and there was frost on the car. I will try not to bring any of that back. The drive through Montana was again amazing. It is crazy to think that in the years since it was established that not much has changed it is wide and open. While in Montana we made a stop at Cabela's mainly for my dad. For those who don't know it is a outdoors mens dream store. Following a quick jaunt through the store we headed out to South Dakota. While driving we had to go on Rt 212 which takes you right through God's country if you break down your screwed. My dad and I have named this Mule Deer Pass as we saw a million deer and one that got a little close to my car.

This is 212 where a mule deer almost ran into the passenger side door, Dad had a few choice words following that experience.

So now we are safe and sounf in Rapid City South Dakota. Lucky for me on the way to the hotel we saw another Cabela's (thats having a sale!) across from the hotel. So tomorrow we are going there and then to Mt. Rushmore! Stay tuned for more...

Miss you and see you soon!
