well a week from friday(tomorrow) the wife and i will be going on vacation
we will,like always,be driving cross country.we love to drive
our new car,which we bought last octobor,already has 20k miles on it.
it had 15 when i brought it home from the dealership i work at.
so to say we like to drive is an understatement  ;D

this time we are headed to a place i have never seen before,the wife has but i havent.
YELLOWSTONE NAT'L PARK,and GRAND TETON,and GLACIER NAT'L PARK.
we dont have any real definate plans set,we always just kind of wing it.
that way we cant say we didnt get to see what we wanted to.but we always see what we want

so any how hers the question at hand
if any one knows of anything that is a true"must see" please let me know.
any museums etc,you know the kind of stuff people like us would like ;)
any place i may find rock for knapping,as i always have an interest in finding rock while i am on vaca
i like to try and make a point out of something from the area i visit  :)

as a side note: tonight i was talking on the phome with our oldest son,Derek.
he is in the Navy in Little Creek Va.
i have been helping him purchase a new car from the dealership where i work  ;D
it has been an interesting process as he is 130 miles away,wel today the car officialy became his
its a 2010 Ford Fusion Sport,almost like mine.
his is tuxedo black,with black leather interior but no navigation system
well he told us tonight on the phone he would be coming home by saturday  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
he aid its cause he wanted to come visit mom and me,but we know its just because he wants his new car
either way were as happy as 2 proud service parents can be
this is gonna be an awesome week end now ;D ;D ;D

If you are passing thru South Dakota, I can see what I can do to make sure you see the highlights of the Black Hills. 

Pappy:
Black hills are great,Tim you need to pm Wolfwatcher he knows that country and you will be close to where he is.I bet he can tell you some sites to see.Have a good trip. :)  :)

How long are you on Vacation Tim?....It takes a couple weeks just to take in Yellowstone

cody WY has a great museum with all the winchester guns and a ton of cool NA stuff. I would suggest that.

Second. Go see Devils canyon on Hwy 14 near lovel WY. No one goes there and it is kinda like the grand canyon. Very cool place. I used to work there.
 
Spend some time in the Big horns if you can. Another mtn range that is really cool and no one goes to.
At the top of one mtn in the bighorns on 14A there is the medicine wheel. Built by the NA's who the heck knows when - 1000s of yrs ago. Kinda of like a stone henge. Worth the trip. you have to walk 1.5 miles to see it but well worth the trip.

make it to the beartooths even if it is just for a drive through. but would recommend at least an overnight if you can.

I can get you to some out of the way spots with hot springs that the tourestos dont visit if you want. Between yellowstone and the tetons.
I could tell you about a bunch of great places to hike in Jellystone or the Tetons.
Depends upon how much time you have and what you wanna do.

Worked out there for a summer and visited a lot.
PM me if you need more info.
