I mentioned in an earlier post that on my next trip through South Dakota I was going to spend more time in Deadwood and The Black Hills. My thought had been to skip the places I always return to in favor of something new, but going through my images from my visit to the Badlands, … More A Badlands Sunset
For most of my travels I’ve tried to use the ‘Blog In Order As I Go’ method, but with longer trips it becomes increasingly difficult. The next story, in chronological order for this trip, is for a location that I feel would be better served if I waited until I got home and could more … More Just a touch of chaos and misadventure…
This trip was the second time I made a quick stop at Devil’s Tower National Monument on my way to someplace else. As before, though I had forgotten until I was there again, I wished I had scheduled more time. Devil’s Tower itself is, of course, the main attraction, domineering the landscape, but its not … More Devil’s Tower

Days with temps above freezing, even above 50, are finally becoming a bit of a pattern rather than an anomaly. Saturday was such a day and I took advantage by going to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. There’s still little green, but the sounds of spring have joined the promises of better weather. Its enough to … More Spring is around the corner…
Often considered the heart of the park, Many Glaciers, in the north east quadrant of Glacier National Park, feels like stepping back in time. With towering mountains, active glaciers, wildlife and beautiful waters, the area is stunning and populated with deer, bighorn sheep, black bears, grizzly bears and smaller mammals and birds. Hiking trails, wooded … More Many Glaciers
