Although we will not linger too long in the Black Hills this trip, we both wanted to take the time to revisit The Crazy Horse Memorial. Although we visited the area in 1973 and were aware at the time that a carving of Crazy Horse was in progress we listened to those...
It was a delightful evening with Ryan and Jana. We joined them at their house for a delicious bbq dinner from the emerging Rapid City food truck scene then ventured into nearby downtown. A quick stop into Who's Toy House, ice cream from Silver Lining Creamery savored...
After a long chat with chat with fellow T@B owners early evening, some late evening bison campground visits, and a late night hailstorm, we settled in for the night in order to get an early start this morning. Of course there were bison sightings as we were leaving...
Although we don't travel with an itinerary or a specific planned route, we do have a general route in mind. This time Aberdeen was not in the general plan. But then we learned that Paul, a cousin we hadn't seen in many a year has just moved to this place. A few text...
We remembered this eatery from our 2008 trip and set the GPS to lead us to Al's Oasis. At's an iconic restaurant just off I-90 at Oacoma SD. I's a pretty comprehensive travelers rest stop: fuel, groceries, souvenirs, lodging, camping, and restaurant. Been there nearly...
After a fun evening in the City of Presidents and a delightful visit with our campground neighbors, we are eastbound on I-90. We traveled this stretch in '73 on our honeymoon and in '08 on our three month ramble. Both times we were westbound and both times we stayed...
Thanks to Jana we've finally, on our third visit to the Black Hills, visited downtown Rapid City, City of Presidents! It was a delightful evening. She met us at the KOA where we got to show her our T@B then on to a delicious meal at Tally's Silver Spoon, a trip to the...
After a rainy night today dawned sunny and bright. We did laundry and took our time breaking camp so that we had a dry tent to put away. Left Horsethief Campground and headed to Sylvan Lake for lunch and a hike. Then we headed up US 385 to Spearfish Canyon but...
Ranger Tour Video Park Video Today we headed south on US 385 to Hot Springs, South Dakota. There in 1974 mammoth fossils were discovered and now it is an active paleontological dig under roof. It's the only mammoth site in the US with the fossils in situ (left where...
Today we visited the Crazy Horse Memorial in the Black Hills of South Dakota. We took advantage of the opportunity for a personalized van tour to the bottom of the face of gigantic sculpture. We were able to walk out to where his finger eventually will be carved. It...

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.
