Outdoor adventures. Hiking, hunting, fishing, homesteading. My passion is to encourage older folk to walk, enjoy nature, grow and preserve your own food. Enjoy Life!
The trail town looked like fun. Love driving across country. You went from gun battles in a Western town to what sounded like gun battles (fireworks) by the Missouri River. Amen! PTL!
Enjoyed your vidio,im a 78 year young biker dude! Can't get out an Ryde anymore,just watch videos of people having fun nowadays! And I don't like it,,im board!!!!!
Just imagine going west in a tent on wheels.pulled by a team of horses ,and a cow,maybe ,wow 20 miles at a time.or so ,thank you for taking me along,on this fourth of july.100+years ago a wagon train may have camped right where you are at,if I were there ,I would be searching with my metal detector, for sure!!!!
Well they looked at all the open country and felt it was a great place to make a homestead and farming or ranching. Problem is they were not aware of the brutal weather and living conditions the Dakotas have. The only people that knew about it and how to handle it was the Indians. But they had been there for hundreds of years.
I think about those hardy pioneers who survived out here. There's a great book "The Horse and Buggy Doctor" that gives a great picture of this life. Good, solid people. Thanks for sharing!
@WanderingMonkHikes i'll have to read that one. I just finished 2 books and have one more about a crow Indian chief. I love reading historical books about the areas we visit.
Loved the badlands. My son and I hiked out into the middle of an area that had some grassy flats in the middle of many giant walls. It was fun to climb down, figure our way through a maze of sand castles and then climb up to the flat we were looking at from the parking lot. It looked similar to the one way out at the 6:23 mark.
Love seeing all the elk. We just got back from WA and saw a few herds out there. No White Buffalo but lot's of white snow. We had lots of snow still on the big mountains in WA. You sure saw lots of wildlife!
Outstanding video , my father told me when he and my mom went out there that he understood why the Native Americans fought so hard for that land . Thanks for sharing .👍🏻🇺🇸
Mt Rushmore gives me chills . I can remember as a little boy . When the TV stations use to sign off the air at midnight , they played the National Anthem and showed the Thunderbirds flying past Mt Rushmore . That candy store was off the chain . Thanks for sharing . 👍🏻🇺🇸
@inthebackyardwithdel438 I was shocked to learn that they were supposed to be from head to waist. That would have been incredible. It's incredible like it is but too bad they ran out of funding. Thanks for watching.
All I can say is WOW , such beauty . I am chewing at the bit to go . I have a lot of planning to go . Once again , thank you for sharing y’all’s journey . 👍🏻🇺🇸
The weeping wall was really flowing! Nice to have signs which help identify the trees. The cedars were big! Excellent views as you drove through the mountains! Must have been scary being in the passenger seat along the cliffs.
@bestillonthetrail234 I always hate being in the passenger seat and looking over those cliffs but would rather be there than driving that road. 😆 yes, the Weeping Wall was so flowing. I told papa it was more like the wailing wall.
The Tower makes Clingman’s Dome look like a cake walk. 😂 I was afraid y’all would rope climb the face of the Tower. Yes, wind storms out there are fierce! Glad you got to see your deer. Thanks for sharing!
