Obama bin Laden ruined our vacation too. After 35 years of hard work we planned a 6 week vacation to to loop through National Parks and Monuments starting with Yellowstone, on to Rushmore, and eventually ending in the Smokey Mountians of Tennesse.
We are leaving today and will still do the trip but with changes and have had to cancel reservations all over the place.
Thanks, Obama and Harry Reid for nothing.
Go drive Highway 1 from top to bottom if you can. It’s amazing.
Drive the country, even if you don’t see all the monuments. You’ll see plenty.
Then there’s Banff, CA. That’s amazing.
In Leadville, CO, is a museum about the Tabors and “Don’t give up the Matchless, Baby Doe.” Private. Worth seeing.
The headwaters of the Missouri River is off some little road.
Cripple Creek, CO, may still have some of the old ramshackle cabins from mining days, but I don’t know.
Try a train ride up the Gunnison canyon. You’ll love that, too.
The site of the Little Big Horn is visible outside the park. It really is just fields.
Try the Berea Inn in KY. Private and famous.
