After spending two days in Reno to have our VGT valve replaced at Freightliner we made it to the KOA Rawlins. Not much to say about Rawlins other than good bye rocks. The people at the KOA were very nice however. The picture between Rawlins and Custer says it all about the 290 trip, except you cannot see the wind that broke my door hinge at a rest stop mid way.
Now, Custer was much better and our trip we thought was going to get better. When reaching the Custer Gulch Campground, discovered our left rear jack had become damaged at our stay in Rawlins. Our coach was now a "Rock N Roll" rig until we can get the new part delivered. But the fun did begin over the next four days. Lots to see and do here. Mt. Rushmoore 4th of July weekend was great to visit, their celebration was very patriotic with a full orchrestra, B-51 fly over and night show. Carole felt like she should join the Arm Services!
The town of Keystone, was an interesting visit at Rushmore, but pretty touristy with all its shops. Nice setting however. Crazy Horse is a work in progress (30-yrs or so) and will be for a while. It is larger than the Mr. Rushmore carving. Lots of Indain history to read about and of course plenty of mechandise on sale. The whole badlands area was much greener and mountainous than what we expected, is a worth while visit.
