My Dad is brave about the mountains, just not the Burrows!!

We drove up a mountain.  Yes in our RV... it was crazy!!!  We had to keep going in these tunnles, and every time they kept getting smaller... and smaller.. and smaller until we just couldn't fit.  So we had to turn around and drive all the way back down.  The thing is, it took us 2 hours to get that far, and it was already getting dark.  So we drove as far as we could and pulled over and ate.  Hotdogs over the gas stove!!  Then on our way back, the wildlife was amazing!!! We saw a huge herd of buffaloe!!!! There were tons of babies, it was sooo cute!  

Then we saw two burrows.  we had been warned that burrows are verrryy friendly.  We opened the windows and they started walking toward us.  mom and Dad started freaking out, dad especially, yelling and screaming for us to close the windows. Then dad got so scared he just stepped on the gas and we sped away.  It was very funny, and we got it all on tape.  

I think my Dad had the scare of his life. That day we attempted to see Mount Rushmore.  No success there.  Why?  Well... it was so foggy we couldn't even see the mountain!!! We had to come back yesterday and see it.  It was breathtaking how HUGE that thing is.  I mean one eye is like 11 feet!! Thats crazy!! 

After Mount Rushmore we had another long day of traveling.  We drove through Big Horn mountains, and they are absolutely gorgeous!  As we kept climbing, the whole family was on the look out for Moose.  We spotted 4!!!  It was so cool.  We were driving through clouds and we were so high up that Jessica's ears started popping! 

On the way down we stopped at a little town, with a population of 10 people!! Not kidding, thats what the sign said!  I just can't imagine living in that small of a town.  Well 1 month and 3 or 4 days left of the trip, and already it feels as if we've been on the road for a year!!  It's going to be one long trip....

Two other thing we did, that i forgot to mention were Wall Drug and Devil's Tower.

Wall drug is a big tourist trap, lots of little stores.  Really really fun!  We each got and 1/8 lb of fudge, and and extra 2 for free.  It was soooo yummy!! Devil's tower was amazing!  There is a story that a man wanted to prove he was a good parachuter by jumping out of a plane and landing on the top of devils tower!!  He did it, and then he was stuck up there for 6 days waiting ofr someone to rescue him!!

Well, goodbye.  I have a feeling i wont be writing for a few days.  We are staying in Yellowstone, and i doubt they have internet!

Just an update on the weather:  Its been freezing, raining, sleeting, and every thing else.  Its may and there was snow!!!!!
