Home in central Ohio

We made it home.  We traveled 4468 miles.  The old Chevy truck with 197,000 miles on it ran great without any problems.  It used one quart of oil. We got 10.92 miles per gallon.  The cheapest gas was 3.69 in Delaware, OH,  and  Rapid city, SD and most expensive was  4.19 in Upper Peninsula, MI.  Our blog will now take a rest for awhile. Glad to have you along for the ride.

Lewis and Clark State Pk. Anawa, Iowa

Spent last night at Lewis and Clark SP.  It was a beautiful campground on a lake.  There was keelboats like Lewis and Clark used to travel the Missouri river.  It has turned cooler with highs in the 60's.   Tonight we are camped in a commercial campground close to Galesburg, ILL.  We will probably be home tomorrow night.   Here are some of the pics over the last few days.

Badlands NP

We stayed at Indian Campground in Buffalo, Wyoming on Saturday night.  Then Sunday we drove to Badlands National Park where we stayed at a campground in the park too far from internet service.  The wind was very bad driving on Sunday.   We are also heading east now as we had enough of the west.  The smoke and haze are so bad that I could taste it some times.  It finally turned clear in South Dakota.  I am writing this at a rest area on I90 close to Sioux Falls, SD.  No pics today.
