Nebraska

Nebraska's wide open fields




This was so great to see-- well maybe not the sign above!!!
These are actual pieces of river bed sediment that all these bone are found in.




All these dinosaurs were found here



They are found in the mounds you see out the window

Road Trip Aug. 2010


Mississippi River between Wisconsin and Minnesota




Sunflower fields for miles and miles in
South Dakota

Mt. Rushmore
This is the same picture as above- I adjusted the lighting in photoshop.





This was taken as we drove around the back of the mountain.
Custer State Park, S. Dakota

Jen was laughing although it looks like she is sleeping!!!
Mules--all--over!!!



They can right up to the windows





We saw quite a few of these deer-

and Buffalo!!!




This is still in Custer State Park






It was such a beautiful drive


This is a one lane tunnel I had to drive through!!!!  You can barely see some people on the other side--well when we got through I realized there was a large group of people taking our picture as we were driving through.  Boy was it narrow!!!  You can also see the bird-stuff- on the windshield:)
Then on to Wyoming!!!!!  Devil's Tower

And here we are back to our hotel-- This is our view of Mt. Rushmore from the hotel---wow---what a trip!!
