Finishing the trip.

Hi from Coeur D'Alene. The last few days have been a whirl of cross-country activity. We have gone to the Eisenhower Presidential Museum, Mt. Rushmore,Badlands National Park, Yellowstone, and a couple of minor league, but fascinating museums and hikes. Tomorrow it is home to Portland! Meanwhile, here are a few pictures:

This is the house Eisenhower grew up in. They built the Library and Museum around it.


We did the loop drive through the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. It is amazing. Really BAD.


Need I say more?


This is a yellow-bellied marmot that we saw in the Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming on the way to Yellowstone.


Old Faithful was so amazing we stayed to watch it erupt twice! We packed a lot into our two days in Yellowstone including a hike to the top of Mt. Washburn.
