Current Map of My Trip

The latest map:


Random thoughts for the day:

I passed through the town of Emblem, Wyoming today.  Population 10, plus 2 dogs.  I couldn't find their emblem though.

In my running game of White Horse, I now have 37 white horses - and lots of cemeteries.  Now if we could count antelope, I'd have over 100.  Are you keeping track Jean?

Camp ground life.  Most folks I've met have been wonderful.  But tonight, I'm next to a couple who sit outside their trailer smoking the foulest cigars that I've ever smelled.  I tried talking to them earlier, but all they did was grunt.

I got gas in Gillette, Wyoming today.  The town was fully equipped with the latest traffic control devices - stop signs, stop lights, cross walks, warning signs, etc.  It seemed to me that most of the driving population didn't have a clue what any of those things were for.  Very scary.  Maybe they are from the Chicago area?

  1. Greetings John, from another traveler. We returned this week from our trip around Bavaria and Austria. A wonderful time, great weather and a terrific guide.

    Jean sent me your blog address and I must tell you I have enjoyed catching up this last hour on your 3-4 weeks of journeying. I really picked up in South Dakota where you came into the Badlands and Mt. Rushmore. I was amazed at how small the monument was compared to the rest of the surrounding area. Not at all as I thought it would be.

    Drive safely and know that I am following your journey west to Home! cindy
