Couple that has made 13 trips to Alaska
Good early start this morning. We drove through SD, and then dipped into Wyoming and then into Montana. SD. and Wyoming were mostly plains. We did come across a field of prairie dogs, there was a sign telling people to not shoot them as they were under some study.
The first rest area in Montana had the words and a little history about the song 'Don't fence me in'
the quartet sang it with gusto. It was written by Bob Fletcher Cole Porter bought it from him in 1934 and it was not until 1954 that Fletcher was given credit for writing it. We crossed the Powder River, "Too wet to plow and too thick to drink" we also crossed the Yellowstone River. Saw a lot of cows and prong horn antelope, some buffalo , and a cowboy on a horse with his dog. Very western. As we approached Bozeman we had snow covered mountains on either side of us. A spectacular view. We are in a camp ground just outside of Bozeman. The people next to us are also taking a RV to Alaska for the same firm that we are. They have made the trip for the last 13 years. They are from L. A. Very nice couple. We went by Custers last stand, there are a lot of Indians living in the area, Indians and casinos. Very few gas stations. Nancy and Judy did the bulk of the driving, they are getting good at it.
