One of the colder mornings on the trip....

The Smith Mansion?

 Apparently some fella named Smith built this mansion in the middle of nowhere, but never lived in it. I wanted to explore it, get a better look, but, like most  everything else that you want to do in this world, it was OFF LIMITS....
To give you an idea of size, notice the 5th wheel camper in the fore ground....














 I just liked this shot... seems to encompass out-west backroads...
 Even in the cold, the skeeters were somethin AWFUL, (but not awful enough to forgo a smoke, apparently)
The one time I fail to cover my boots, this black widow was waitin for me in my left boot...no bites , tho

My Effects







A few of the places I've got to camp...others include under bridges, slung between two flat-beds, an 18 wheeler trailer, the ground, caves, campgrounds, a few farms, some back yards, parks, and many many others....










Just a bit of some of the gradual scenery changes along the way....
 I have absolutely NO explanation here....
 Move over sliced bread...That's right, a bar w a Drive-Thru Window....
 Got a little lost, couldn't find this place ANYWHERE on the map
Lemme just tell ya now, a BBQfishburger shake does NOT go down as smooth as it sounds...
 Who Knew?
 Car for sale. Low miles, some body work needed. Door-locks broken, but can chain to almost ANY pole(chain included)
Urban camping at its finest....

Rapid City Storm

 Me pitching in to help get the campground back to normal. Thank you to everyone at the Lazy J Campground for all your support....


 The storm as it rolled in...
These are a few of the hail-stones I could grab before it got really bad.....Few bruises an' a broken toe, but none the worse for wear....
