Whip Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Monday morning Chris (Blaschke) and I will begin our adventure to the UN. Our first night will be at the location of last years UN. The Palmer Gulch near Mount Rushmore but this time we won’t be staying in the plush cabins we will be camping (in separate tents). ....and that is the only reservation we have. Our plan is to go over the top of the Great Lakes then visit Niagara Falls and prolly stay on the Canadian side till we get to NY State. Many lies and pictures to follow. 6 Link to comment

I love tent camping...once a year. I did figure out why only once a year. It takes me 365 to forget how bad it sucks sleeping on the ground. I do admire the attempt though! 1 2 Link to comment

Whip Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 So today was a bit long. We got started late cause Chris wanted to hide in his tent till 9am and I always wanted to use quarters to pay for a shower. Hitting the road at 10:15 limited our destination choices..I thought...incorrectly Link to comment
