A scenic drive known as the Crazy Woman loop
There is a tragic, colourful story behind this name. The drive is well worthwhile. It takes you into the Big Horn mountains and back through the narrow winding gravel road called Crazy Woman Canyon.
Catching up with the Sundance Kid
Our next move was to shuffle off to Buffalo. No, not Buffalo, New York, but Buffalo, Wyoming.
Hanging with bikers at the Sturgis motorcycle rally
Most everyone has heard of the Sturgis motorcycle rally, which is held in the second week of August each year. In reality the bikers arrive and stay for about a month surrounding the rally.
Touring some top-notch attractions
Travelling through some smaller communities, we found historic wonders worth stopping to visit.
A piece of history
After a couple days of rest, we drove to Deadwood South Dakota. This small town is a national historic landmark and boasts many stories of gunslingers and gamblers.
Things heat up in Montana
Our next stop was in Fort Benton, Montana. This is where the steamboats stopped on the Missouri River bringing settlers and goods from St. Louis and further east.
Early blogging happened on stone
Next we travelled to Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park. If you have never been there you are in for a magnificent treat.
On our way
Well, here we go, leaving on our trip to meander through the midwest U.S.A.
Betty and Dwayne Brandly started RVing shortly after they got married in 1965. Dwayne built a homemade tent trailer and off they went. That lasted until the kids were crawling around with sticky poplar seed pods clinging to their diapers; they looked like small porcupines. Betty said, "go and get a real trailer with a bathroom." Over the last 45 years they have gone to Disneyland, numerous places in Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan, and many of the northern US states. They have travelled for both work and pleasure, and Dwayne’s love for fishing has taken them into some backwoods places a trailer should not really have gone. Many trips were made to Craven, Saskatchewan to take in the original Big Valley country music festival. Now that they are both retired they are taking a leisurely trip for the next couple of months, just to see where the road takes them. These weekly updates will tell us where they have been.
