Yup, spent the first night in a Walmart parking lot. Why not??
Our first "real" camping location was Jellystone in Sioux Falls South Dakota.
Our first issue was the alternater. Unfortunately that lead to a hole in the radiator. Spent the night in another Walmart parking lot but with the radiator repaired and the alternate replaced we were on our way the next day. Rapid City, South Dakota.
Yup, we had to back track an hour to get to Wall Drug but what trip out west would be complete without Wall Drug????
The Badlands. It was HOT!!! We did Mt Rushmore that day too. 
KOA in Deadwood, South Dakota.
Deadwood, SD
Devil's Tower. Way cool!!
Camping at Lost Cabin Campground in Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming. Delightful campground hosts here!!
Next night was at Wapiti Campground in Shoshone National Forest WITH power!!
This is the first picture from Yellowstone. We spent 5 WONDERFUL days in Yellowstone.
Having a Motorhome in Yellowstone is THE way to go. There is LOTS to see and do but restaurants are not cheap and the wait for a table can be long. It sure is nice to come back after a hike and grab something cold to drink out of the refrigerator.
I love this shot of Margarita and the Yellowstone bus.
This was hands down the COOLEST campsite. One day we popped out the north end of Yellowstone for the night and camped in the Canyon Campground of the Gallatin National Forest. These huge rocks were scattered everywhere. Even the dog had fun climbing up on them.
We just had to get a shot like this. This is at the North Entrance of Yellowstone just past the stone entry arch.
Grand Tetons
Wyoming is really a neat state. I LOVE these rocks!
The shot from above and below is from Guernsey State Park in Wyoming.
Mary the Dog. The driver's seat was HER spot as long as the coach was not moving.
Car Hinge in Alliance Nebraska. That was a little out of the way but a MUST SEE!! We had also done Fort Laramie and the Oregon Trail museum in Scottsbluff on this day. Made for a history filled day. Yes, the old cars of Car Hinge were history.We tried to find a campground that night but must have missed it in the dark. Found out that the windshield can withstand an encounter with a rather big bird that night. We finally ended up in a Pamida parking lot.
GMC dealership in Kearney Nebraska. Killion Motors is a GMC motorhome friendly shop. The owner has one of his own. They happened to see us across the street at the auto parts store. Needed a belt. They invited us over.We did stay at a State Park in Nebraska but it was pricey and NOT very well cared for.
This was the big breakdown and yes, tears were shed. This time it was the waterpump. Lots of parts come off for the water pump. The sign said 77 miles to DesMoines. Luckily we pulled into the end of a driveway of a super nice family who lived just off of the freeway. We could not have survived this breakdown without them. And yes, that is an Iowa cornfield. I just knew we would end up stuck next to a cornfield at some point. We ended up in Anita State Park that night. It was about 20 minutes from this spot.
Last campground stay was at Illinois State Park right on the Illinois River. That was neat.It was a great trip and traveling in a VINTAGE motorhome was rather fun. We got a lot of thumbs up, smiles, and nods from people on the road. Not sure what the next trip will be.
