Pitchy,
I envy your being able to get out and do these travels! My wife and I won't be able to really do anything like that for several years, at best. Got a bit of the old "indebtedness blues" that holds us back from various things.
Glad you took the pics and shared all yer stories recently - have you gotten around to Crazy Horse or Mount Rushmore?
Those places, I heard, are pretty impressive. Also of course, I'd enjoy a visit to Devil's Tower - but hey, I also want to see a Yeti or a Sasquatch before I kick the bucket, too....
