Heading Home Day 6

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 - After breakfast we headed for the Journey Museum in Rapid City. It has information about the people and the land around Rapid City. Again, we found the same entrance fee of $10 per person, even after the brochure said that it was free. We saw everything we could that was free and then went across the street to a thrift shop. We had a good time both places. Amy entered a raffle for a gun at the Museum and bought a decoration for her apartment. We then went back to the hotel and checked out and went to the transmission shop. The motor home was ready for us to take, we just had to pay the bill ($1213), drop the rental car off and pay for it ($114), and then we were on our way. Today we are planning on stopping at Martin's Cove. The plan was to walk the trail if we had time. If not, we would see as much as we could and then get back on the road. Because of the late start from Rapid City, we didn't get to Martin's Cove until after 5 pm and so took a quicky tour and head for Kay and Bill's place in Kemmerer, Wyoming. We fixed and ate supper on the road and arrived at Kay and Bill's at 10:45 p.m. We visited with them after midnight. Their house is wonderful. We parked out front and spent the night! It rained during the night and cooled off enough that we needed a blanket.
