Livingston, MT

4.5 hour leg to Livingston, MT and Osens RV Park for another overnight on our way to West Yellowstone.

Buffalo, WY

Today we moved from the Rapid City, SD area to Buffalo, WY for an overnight at Indian Campground. 

Very nice CG but did not unhook as we will be leaving in the morning.

Mt. Rushmore

Yesterday we visited Sturgis (about 25 miles North off I-90) where the 4th Annual Motorcycle Rally kicks off Aug.4th-10th. Lots of bikers have been here since we arrived at the KOA in Rapid City Sunday.

"Sturgis® Motorcycle Rally is one of the largest bike rallies in the United States. The Rally includes concerts, races, bike shows, exhibits, organized rides, and a full schedule of entertainment."

Late yesterday we stopped at the Crazy Horse memorial (about 35 miles South) and then went to visit the Mt. Rushmore National Monument near Keystone SD. Our first time here and if you have a chance don't miss it.

Stayed for the 45 min. lighting presentation by a Park Ranger that started at 9pm...very informative and there were people in the outdoor theater from every region of the USA and many from out of Country...packed!!

"Mount Rushmore National Memorial is visited by nearly three million people each year that come to marvel at the majestic beauty of the Black Hills of South Dakota and learn about the birth, growth, development and preservation of the country. From the history of the first inhabitants to the diversity of America today, Mount Rushmore brings visitors face to face with the rich heritage we all share."

Hope you enjoy the photos.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) we leave the area and continue our journey to the Oregon coast.

Ella passed unexpectedly July, 27th.

We will never forget!!

************************************************************************

Special Entry and main reason we came to Wisconsin in addition to visiting with friends;

Introducing Eloise (Ella) Elizabeth Kasperzak.

Born Tuesday 7-22-14 at 10:22pm weighing 7# 2oz.and 18" in length.

Everyone healthy and fine.

Yesterday we went to Aurora Medical Center in Oshkosh to meet for the first time Ella and proud parents Kimi and Ed. Beautiful baby as most grand parents would say...but Ella really is. Have some photos in this entry.

Also there were Ed's parents Rosie and Jerry.

Today Ella should be going home (Appleton, WI) and we will be going there to see her in the very nice nursery that Kimi and Ed have waiting for her.

Kewaunee, WI

We had a great stay in Ellison Bay and Hyland Court RV Park but the month went by really fast...however it was time to move on.

Yesterday (Friday) we made a short run down the Lake Michigan shoreline to Kewaunee and the Kewaunee Village RV Park. We will be here for about a week.

Today we'll take a short 30 min. drive to Green Bay to get the pups groomed, do a little shopping and enjoy once again some of those tasty hamburgers and chili at Kroll's East.

UPDATE July 19th

Still in Kewaunee and visiting the area with a couple of trips to Green Bay including today when we visited Lambeau Field. Took the Lambeau Tour with Greg & Ginny close friends from Reno who are staying with us in their 5th wheel for a few days on their way to the East Coast. Greg is a Broncos fan but I think was impressed...who wouldn't be?? Got to see all the recent updates (it's Grand Opening time now) to the Atrium, Stadium and Field...well worth the Tour. 

Friends from GB coming out tomorrow for a visit and BBQ...more pics will be added here.

Will be sticking close now waiting for a phone call as daughter Kimi and husband Ed are having their baby ANY DAY now.
