Ted was a good man. Very wise...

Indeed he was. He'd be rolling over in his grave if he knew how this
country has taken a huge turn for the worse.
Teddy Roosevelt National Park was the nations first. And Devils Tower
was our first national monument. I probably would never have seen either
if it had not been for my trusty home on wheels.


We drove from Spearfish SD to Devil's Tower on the dirt road. It was a
surprise when we stumbled onto it.

Drove with a college buddy from Vermillion, SD, to Mt. Rushmore back in
the 1960s. Really long drive, maybe 10 hours. Stopped at Wounded Knee.

Comment about life being somehow better during the time of TR was
hilarious. Life was pretty miserable for the average working man and his
family back then. Sheesh.
