Project 365 at Mount Rushmore
Spent the day in South Dakota. This is my Holy Land and every visit is very spiritual for me. Today\’s photo of the day for Project 365 is Tanya and I at the foot of Mount Rushmore as it began to snow on us.

South Dakota Photos [adrotate group=\”6\”] Sioux City To Wall, SD Great day! We are driving out of Sioux City and I [half] joked that we should find somewhere to dump Buddy for the day, and go rent a Harley. Of course I was not serious, but if it was thrown at me. . . Anyway, a hour down the road we spot a billboard for J&L Harley-Davidson in Sioux Falls. We decided to stop there to pick up a couple t-shirts. As it turns out, they were giving demo rides of the 2010 models. Next thing I knew, I had …
Project 365 – April [adrotate group=\”6\”] Photos From April 2010 What a great month. I am really thankful that I have Project 365 there to help me remember all the places I went in April. We had AZ, NV, UT, NM, CO, OK, TX, LA, MS, AR, TN, KY, MO, NE, IA, IN, SD and KS. Drove over 5,000 miles, went to at least five National Parks, a bunch of state parks and so much more. Great month for sure. [adrotate group=\”1\”]
Got an early start this morning on our way to the Badlands. As we approached I-90 we saw a sign for J&L Harley-Davidson in Sioux Falls, SD. We decided to stop by and pick up a couple t-shirts. To my surprise they were giving free demo rides of the new Harleys. I inquired and the next group was heading out in 15 minutes. I was on it like white on rice. Today\’s photo is me riding on a 2010 Harley-Davidson Limited. Great bike and a great way to start the day.
Beautiful Midwest Skies [adrotate group=\”6\”] The Drive From Kansas to South Dakota Woke up in Kansas City, KS and it looked like it rained in the few hours I slept. This was confirmed when I took Buddy out for his morning walk when it began pouring buckets, complete with lightning and thunder. I guess it was the fringe of the storm that caused all the tornadoes that touched down everywhere we had already traveled to. On the upside, there were some pretty nice cloud formations that made for some nice photographs. We blasted over to Omaha, NE and had one …

As has been par for the course, no matter which direction we headed today, the tornadoes went in the other direction. Today\’s photo was taken at Hunter Cemetery in the middle of nowhere, Missouri. As you can tell by the smile, at least one person is happy about the blue skies.
Photos From Illinois, Missouri and Kansas [adrotate group=\”6\”] Fun Visit To Hannibal, MO Woke up in Springfield, IL to a very blustery day. We decided to head to Hannibal, MO to take a couple pictures and move on. That lasted several hours. Very cool little town, and if you appreciate Mark Twain like I do, it is a total kick. My great-grandfather was born there and Tanya had to wonder if they ever crossed paths. We then took a ride to Pershing State Park and eventually to Kansas City, KS. We did stop in Kansas City, MO because we wanted …
Spent several hours in Hannibal, MO today. Just before we headed out, I was looking for Mark Twain\’s Caves. I guess I got semi lost because I never found them, however, I did see a sign pointing to Lovers Leap. It was a no brainer. Today\’s photo for Project 365 is one of me and my love high atop Lovers Leap, looking over the Mississippi River.
Illinois Sights [adrotate group=\”6\”] Valparaiso, IN To Springfield, IL Today, Tanya and I left Valparaiso, IN and began our journey back to Southern California. While our initial plans were to spend the night in Hannibal, MO we got a little distracted along the way. We came across the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in hopes on finding Lincoln\’s tomb. As it turned out, he was not buried there. We hit up Google and discovered Abe was buried in Springfield, IL. Since it was on the way to Hannibal, the detour was made. Turned out to be a great idea. Many thanks …
Day 118 of Project 365 and it is time to go west. My GPS says it is 2,000 miles and 30 hours away, but I have a feeling it is going to take a lot longer and cover many more miles than that. Today\’s daily photo shows Tanya, Buddy and I packed and headed out the driveway.
