One of the best things about vacation is the anticipation and the many hours of happy thoughts vacation provides. All our travelers are feeling the same way.
What do you hope to do or see during your vacation?
Linda & OWM Dave: I want to see everything that is possible to see, Mount Rushmore, Yellow Stone and the Hot springs.
Lori: I am looking forward to Mt. Rushmore on the 4th of July, soaking in the hot springs of Thermopolis and contemplating how much my husband is a clone of his Dad.
Kenny: I hope to see the majesty of Yellowstone up close and personal.
Becky: Looking forward to seeing everything on our agenda. My dad was born and raised just outside Denver, but I’ve never seen the Rockies; so I’m really looking forward to that. I’m also a huge history buff, so the museums and re-enactments of the Wild West will be lots of fun for me!
GL Dave: I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of the places that I’ve only seen in movies and Westerns.
Dad Dave: just the different states and enjoy the trip across the Dakotas and so on.
What items do you think are important to have on the trip?
Linda & OWM Dave: A camera or several cameras, sunscreen and a hat cool clothes and good walking shoes. A spare tire, water and food. Money!!!!!!
Lori: Ice, pre-prepared meals, a book to read on the long travel days and playing travel games.
Kenny: Tow chain for the F-450!
Becky: A good pair of tennis shoes! Also, a GPS, our camera, camcorder, and cell phone – oh, and Kody Kight – he will be loads of fun!
