Sometimes I think a big part of the fun in traveling is in the planning stage. The anticipation builds. It starts out as a globe, then it gets pared down to a map, then finally a destination.
Right now the focus is on the Black Hills area of South Dakota. Of course everyone know of Mount Rushmore. The area is a lot more than that. I'm energized and excited about all the possible options for things to do and see. There are a few 'must do' drives around that area. We are taking a good 2 weeks to try and cover as much of it as we can.
It would appear that someone else is also extremely excited about the planning stage, even more so than myself. A while back I started a thread for recommendations in that area. Santa brought us a guide book which is very helpful. It breaks up the area into 4 distinct regions.
We finally started planning in earnest this week. We have a good bit already in the books. Almost 4 months worth is planned out. 2 more months to go.
