In the Redwoods

We're camping tonight in the Redwood National Park.  Beside the Smith river.  I have never seen such trees in my life.  We're under a giant redwood that is probably larger in circumference than our Forrester!  Even with other campers close, it's so quite and peaceful.  And I've been to the Pacific Ocean again today.  YEEE HAW!

too busy being awed! I've seen so many incredible things

We are now in a town called Madras, in Oregon.  So far we have been to so many places.  The Badlands in South Dakota, Mount Rushmore, Deadwood (complete with gunfight), Devils Tower, Custer Battle Field, Pompey Pillar, Yellowstone (2 nights, pics to come on facebook album), Craters of the moon, Mesa Falls (114 foot drop at the upper falls), John Day Fossil Center, tomorrow we go to Mt. Hood and Salem to Mike and Susie's for three days.  I'll try to whip this missive into shape while we are there.  We got a motel (cheap and local) because we didn't want to be in the rain - but no desk, and it's too hard to type on the bed. 

Bye for now.

We're in Montana now. Went to the Little Big Horn today.

Put up the tent this afternoon in gale force winds - felt like it was - reality was maybe 30 - 35 mph?  We are in a KOA campground - one of three tents.  Every body else was in big honking RV's.  And the campground we were planning to stay at is flooded.  just as well, it's a great KOA.  Battery is getting low, and we don't have electricity.  Will post pictures in a few days - when we take a break from camping and go for the motel showers.
