Northwest Trip 2004

09/09/2004 to 09/27/2004

This trip was to the North & West, so we're calling it The Northwest Trip.

We drove through Colorado, Nebraska & Iowa, then into Minnesota to see the kids, our grandson, relatives and friends.

We left home on 9/7 and got into Minneapolis area on 9/10. The first 4 nights we stayed with Peter & Livia who have just added another house to their existing house. Very nice. The next 3 nights we spent at Wendy's, driving her crazy.

After leaving Minnesota, we headed west. The points of interest we wanted to see were specifically Badlands, Devil's Tower, Little Bighorn, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone and the Tetons. We did them all, plus a couple side trips. What a good time.




Fort Kearney - Nebraska 09/09/2004

We stopped at Ft. Kearney in Nebraska on our way to Minnesota.

It is a State Historical Park several miles southeast of Kearny, Nebraska.
It has a very nice interpretive center with excellent artifacts from the Oregon Trail days, a restored blacksmith's shop, a stockade, and beautiful grounds in which to picnic or relax.

The stockade was not for people, it's where they put the cattle and horses at night to keep them from being stolen
