Follow our adventuers to Alaska by Motor Coach as we complete a bucket list entry

Many of us have bucket lists. Ours includes a trip to Alaska. We are traveling by Motor Coach from our southern mountain home across our great United States to Seward's Folly, or the great frontier of Alaska. Sit back, relax, and enjoy our ride as we try to share our adventure with you.

Custer State Park

Today we road toured Custer State Park.  Saw quite of few of the 1300 buffalo that roam the 71,000 acre park.  We also saw a band of curious burros roaming free looking for a hand out of food.  They caused quite a log jam.  Then we traveled up the Needles Highway and went through 6 granit tunnels that were amazing.  The last one was the eye of the needle and it looked like we were threading the needle.  We passed a tour bus and were trying to figure out how it was going to get through that eye as it was only 8'4" wide and 10' high.  Did our last load of laundry on the road.  It will be good to not have to find quarters to feed the washer and dryer.  Tomorrow we head our motor coach toward home.  We will be staying in Mitchell, South Dakota where the only Corn Palace is.  More tomorrow after we have seen the palace.  Hopefully we will be home by next Thursday.  Love ya'll and are looking forward to a huge homecoming with ya'll over Labor Day.  See ya' soon.
