It’s all about living the dream. This had been a dream for 25 years. What’s the dream? Living and traveling full-time in an RV. Although we aren't full-time anymore, we still try to travel about half the year but in a smaller RV. I hope you enjoy this log of our travels.

Black Hills SD
We hung out in the Black Hills for a couple weeks to sight see and hike. We didn't do Mt Rushmore, or other high profile things, this time. We opted purely for scenic drives and hikes. Therefore I don't have a lot of exciting things to write about so I'll just include a few pictures. The Flume Trail has historic significance. In the mining boom of the 1880s the Flume carried water 20 miles from Spring Creek to the placer diggings near Rockerville. The trail mostly follows the Flume bed so it is a pretty easy hike. We hiked a few miles from each end and found the Sheridan Lake end is prettier and two miles in has a tunnel which you can either go through or over.
