I convinced him he needed to see some real mountains as long as we're on
the way. Grand Tetons, here we come. I'll post a pic or two when we get back.

A much better place to stop is Custer. Only 2 miles to town, rental
car if you need it, camping on nice grass, close to Mt. Rushmore and
Crazy Horse and a nice operator who had a free barbque the last time I
went through there on the way to OSH. Better fuel prices too. Stopped
there about 20 years ago and have been going there ever since.
