Mt Rushmore
Hello to all my friends and family. I am fortunate enough to be taking a trip this summer to the national parks in the northwest. I am a week into the trip now and seen some amazing sights. I am posting pictures. Luck was with me and I took some wonderful pictures of wildlife and the scenery is quite majestic.

My friend Brenda Clapper has joined me on this trip along with my little dog Twyla. The company and help has been greatly appreciated because we are camping most of the time. It is quite work intensive to set up a camp site and break it down every few days. However, we are managing very well and we rent a motel room occasionally when we have enough of camping.

Today we are in a unique motel called Teton Mountain View Lodge. It is jus west of the Teton Mountains and the rooms are very rustic and comfortable. We have a view of the mountains through the window. I think we may stay here a day or two the rest and catch up on laundry. There are plenty of sights to see close by. I will post more in a
