Funny you should mention that. I spent my honeymoon in Yellowstone, back in '74.

Northern Wyoming is pretty (in the spring time

). The Bighorn mountain range is a fun drive, but you need to watch out for the open range cattle.

Still waiting for my postcard, but then you don't have my address.

PM me, I have a few left!

I got a postcard from Georgetown as well. Thanks Neal.

Too bad the weather and obligations didn't let you go up into the Colorado mountains as you had planned. The scenic roads there are ideal for the view you get from a MB. If you ever plan to do that in the future though, do it in the summer. April, even most of May is still too early because it is no fun to ride in bad weather or cold.

Denver:
Saturday, Sunday, any day, any time of day, it has awful traffic.

.......Glad you got home safe and sound.

Got your card from the Badlands today Neal, thanks!

A Texan sends a postcard from the Dakota badlands using a stamp that says "Aloha" to a Yankee in Massachusetts. I so love my country!

Onkel Neal · 04-30-12, 11:11 PM

Yeah, that was the only postcard stamps they had.

Jimbuna · 05-04-12, 12:45 PM

Second postcard arrived today Neal, this one was the Caldwell County Courthouse, Lockhart, Texas.

Postie is starting to look at me in a suspicious manner
