Well I guess it is about time we caught up on our blog. After we left the caravan in Moab, Utah we went to Montrose, Colorado. We stayed there for three days exploring the area and cleaning up and reorganizing. We visited a quaint little town called Ouray. Ouray is known for ice climbing, people come from all over to climb the frozen waterfalls.
We then went to a state campground just west of Boulder. We visited Michele , Brandon and Isabel Hiner. Michele is the daughter Marc and Mollie Pagan our good friends from Lynchburg. We had a great dinner there and wonderful visit and I had a chance to play with Isabel.
From there we headed to Fort Laramie Wyoming to spend a couple day taking it easy and visiting the fort.
After Fort Laramie we went to Minden, Nebraska. Minden is the home of the Pioneer Village Museum. We spent the better part of the day touring the museum, it has more early American stuff in one place than I have ever seen before. From old steam tractors and other farm equipment to over 350 antique cars and everything you would have had in your house through the years. Just to much to describe.
From there we went to Sedalia, Missouri. Sedalia will be the location of the Airstream Rally next year. We spent three days there and I got to ride on the Katy Trail.
Next stop was Du Quoin, Illinois and the Airstream International Rally. We were there from Thursday June 23 until Sunday July 3.
On Sunday we left to drive almost 800 mile to our next caravan rendezvous in Sioux Falls.
We spent one night in Ottumwa and West Bend Iowa before arriving in Sioux Fall South Dakota.
We started the Northern Experience Caravan July 6 in Sioux Falls. While we were there we Visited the Falls Park and the US Geological Survey EROS Center the first day and the Butterfly farm and Rosenbauer American Fire Truck Manufacturer the second day.
