Leaving Portland & on our way to S. Dak, going up up the beautiful Columbia River, stopped @ Multnomah Falls and had a wonderful lunch in "Iris" she is glad to be back on the road again!Another beautiful day sun shining bright we have had wonderful weather since we left home.We passed over the Columbia River in Wash & spent the nite in Walmart parking lot. Got up had breakfast  & ready to roll on about 20 miles NE of Pasco Wa we ran into a big veg & fruit stand course we had to stop we were in heaven fresh corn on the cob & fruit it was wonderful.That nite we stayed in another Walmart parking lot in  Montana, thanks for Walmarts they are wonderful to dry camp in. Got up & on to Wyoming  we went into little big horns battlefield monument where the battle between Custer & the Indians took place it was just closing so will have to hit it another time, we saw a lot of deer & buffalo & skunk on this day. Spent the nite in Sheridan Wy. Got up next morning & on to S.Dak.Saw a lot of prairie dog towns , we stopped and saw the Devils tower national monument  1,280 ft above the Belle Fourche River, became the nations 1st National monument Belle Fourche river carved most of the landscape that exposed Devils Tower.What a wonderful site to see I said we need to get the Devils Tower & the Devils Thumb from around rainbow mountain in Alaska together! We made it to Rapid City & Rods brothers house they have such a pretty place & he made a pad for "Iris" with full hook ups what a guy huh!! It is wonderful, they have horses and all kinds of game, Annie & Bear want to get some of those turkeys running around in their yard & so do I so I can put one in the frying pan.  We are now off to the boys hunting grounds on their farm they are all excited to get started, it took us about 5 hours to get there and what a nice little town they grew up in. We have a lot to look at on the way back as we did not want to take the time on the way. Hope you all are having as much fun as we are and enjoying life Rod says we still have goose shit on top of "Iris" so we are right on track be safe and take care.
