Please be patient

Well folks, we will be leaving Spearfish South Dakota tomorrow, headed for Dickinson North Dakota. I've got some pictures that I wanted to put in a slide show, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet. I opened an account on Flickr and uploaded the pictures but I can't get the slideshow feature to work yet. Maybe you can help me out with that Lisa. You seem to have it figured out.

On my way

Well folks, I left Charlotte at 8:40 a.m. on January 21st on Northwest airlines and after a four hour layover in Minneapolis I arrived in Bismark, North Dakota. We spent half a day inventorying equipment in Bismark, and then I drove 308 miles to Spearfish, South Dakota. The high plains of North and South Dakota can only be described as beautiful desolation. Miles and miles of miles and miles with the occasional very small town thrown in. Spearfish is located in the northern Black Hills, home of Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse memorials. I've taken a few pictures in Spearfish Canyon and will take some of the plains and then post them all shortly, so check back soon and often.

And so it begins

Welcome to my blog, such as it is. My plan is to post pictures and maybe even some video of my travels across this beautiful country of ours. It is, of course, primarily for family and friends but all are welcome. Feel free to comment if you find any of my posts to be interesting, provoctive or, more than likely, terribly boring.
