I'm at the end of an amazing adventure! We drove 3,100 miles but because 2 of the days were super long the other 5 days didn't feel like we were in the car as much as it may sound.I'm sharing just a few photos- so hard to choose! I liked every place we visited.
We saw old faithful the first night by moonlight, which was awesome. We also stayed in the Old faithful lodge. It was beautiful, amazing and log cabin cozy. The day I took this photo it rained, thundered and lightning like crazy. We could see it striking and feel the ground shaking.
I have been to Mt Rushmore when I was in the 6th grade. I can appreciate it much more this time. it truly is an amazing piece of work
We veered from our planned stop and went to the town of Deadwood. I wasn't excited about it, but after arriving I'm glad we went. I took this photo after dinner so the streets are pretty empty. It is the only town in South Dakota to have gambling tables, etc... There were people in town, just inside the casinos! You know how some towns try to look old? (Sisters, Oregon) This one IS really old!! Most of these building are original.
This was taken in the back country near Dubois, WY. See the white in the center of the photo on the mountain? That's a glacier! (I'm standing about 7500' elevation) One of the largest herds of Bighorn sheep live in the area.
Grand Tetons in NW Wyoming. Wow! Is all I can say!
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and look at my vacation photos.
Now, ready for an autumn quiltalong? The first step is super easy. Find or make any 6" block. We are going to make one block of Under the Big Top, which is the quilt in my blog header. I happened to have this one leftover and thought it would be perfect. You can make whatever block you want for your center. Feel free to pull some scraps out as well.
