    How I spent my summer vacation ...

    So reckon summer’s over now … but that just means it’s Fall. Got home and cleaned up the camper, did laundry, and repacked it so I could head to the airport. When I fly in after my next hitch, I’m headin’ right from the airport to Hurricane, Utah for the big Trail Hero event. And might even...

    How I spent my summer vacation ...

    Eased on outta the State Park headin’ south. Still a pretty drive at this point. And seen buffalo all over. Made me laugh to think of them folks that paid to ride ‘round in them State Park jeeps. But the scenery peters out pretty quick and I decided to just head on back into Wyoming. Fuel...

    How I spent my summer vacation ...

    Do love me some breakfast. After that, life found me easin’ on into the Custer State Park. Known far and wide for both its wildlife viewin’ opportunities and its scenic drives. Cost me 20 bucks to get in the gate since I weren’t in WY no more. 20 bucks for a 1-7 day pass. That’s what...

    So off into the woods I went. Road I stumbled on was obviously rarely traveled. And that’s good. Then the road ended. Which is fine. Chunked a rock under the tire to level ‘er up just a bit and called ‘er a day. And hit the whiskey bottle. Hard. Went to sleep good and drunk.

    And got to Johnson’s Crossin’. There was a bar there and I had a beer. But ain’t got much more than that to say of that sorry place. Then the road took me into Hill City. I’d done heard some nasty rumors that this here town was a tourist trap as well. But it was sort of a mini tourist...

    Next mornin’ I was off and down the road to Deerfield Lake. Right pretty place. For all you readers that are a vet’rens of the TLCA’s Black Hills Cruiser Classic … done drove by Whispering Pines Campground on Highway 385. Locked up solid and sign said closed for the season but sure...

    And just a short piece down the road brought me to Lewie’s. Jammed up with the scooter crowd on the beautiful Saturday afternoon. Busy place but the service was excellent nonetheless and the entire staff was friendly as they buzzed around me at the bar. Then a short drive down the road...

    How I spent my summer vacation ...

    Found one local bar called the Oasis that was quite pleasant with a local crowd of ladies celebratin’ somethin’ or other. They was good and drunk and all cussin’ their husbands. It was a man-bashin’ extravaganza. Ain’t marriage great? I had a few good laughs and a coupla beers and eased on...

    Real nice sunrise over my mesa meadow. After breakfast, I eased ‘er on outta there. I vaguely remember this here tight spot on the way in but weren’t near the eye-opener in the evenin’ as it was the next mornin’ when I was sober. Reckon that downed tree is what bent in the propane access...

    But they led to a nice meadow where I was assured a nice peaceful sleep. Neighbors did come over in a bit to say Howdy. Didn’t see nary a single Japanese tourist tho. But not knowin’ when to quit is my specialty … so I hit the whiskey bottle. Templeton Rye … The Good Stuff. Says...

    How I spent my summer vacation ...

    Can’t afford to pay for both beer and campin’ … so gotta camp for free. So studied up on my Black Hills map I picked up at one of the bars and hit a dirt forest service road headin’ into the woods. Then turned off on a lil’ trail off that road. Which was basic’ly an ATV trail. I ain’t afraid...

    The B & B Lounge in Spearfish, SD turned out to be a fine drinkin’ establishment. Early crowd of drunks on the Friday afternoon and a right-friendly bartender lady. Thangs picked up exponentially tho when a coupla young hotties came in to celebrate the younger ones 21st birthday. Game on. I...

    How I spent my summer vacation ...

    Watched out the camper door as the sunrise came over the lake as I was cookin’ breakfast. Livin’ large. Figured mize well ease on up the road to see the Devil’s Tower. A very unique hunk of rock to be sure. Teddy Roosevelt made it the nation’s very first National Monument. And that in...

    How I spent my summer vacation ...

    One ol’ boy at the Dime Horseshoe was really, really drunk but told me I should head over to the town of Pine Haven and hit a coupla bars and then go campin’ at Keyhole State Park. He was very specific on where I needed to camp … right down to the spot number. So I eased on that way and stopped...

    How I spent my summer vacation ...

    Next mornin’ after a big ol’ breakfast, I took the backroads up to Lusk and then Highway 85 on up to Newcastle. That was one stretch of highway that I’d match up anywhere in the U.S. as the most stretch of nothin’ there is. But then the country got right pretty. Turned off at Four Corners, WY...

    Time to start thinkin’ ‘bout where I’m gonna bed down for the night. Just a bit down the road is Guernsey State Park. So just a bit down the road I go. And I get to camp free there cuz I done got me an annual WY resident campin’ permit for all WY State Parks. Great deal for 40 bucks. And a...

    But I was needin’ to send summer off with a bang. Somethin’ special. Friggin’ healthy livin’ been damned near killin’ me. Diet. Exercise. Tryin’ to be mindful of the health of my innards. Fawk it … I needed me a week-long drunk. And a roadtrip. That there’s a combination that just can’t...

    How I spent my summer vacation ...

    Y’all remember havin’ to write that when you was a young’un and startin’ a new school year? Without a doubt, it’d been a good summer up here on the high plains. Went campin’ ev’ry time I was home. Sometimes just for a night. Sometimes more. But ev’ry time nonetheless. Here’s some random...
