Coeur d'Alene, ID

My hospital bed for my overnight stay.
Went in with chest pains, thank goodness not the heart.

Turns out I have a torn rotator cuff due to an accident a month earlier.

 Riverside Park - so beautiful.  One of my favorite parks.

Went down to HoopFest - our first time ever.  200,000 players and spectators.  This picture doesn't do it justice.  Tons of people and streets lined with hoops and players.

Yellowstone, MT and WY

All week we have stopped at all the usual bear sites and had no luck spotting any.  Today we decided to do a quick drive up into the park for 1 last look at the Bison.  Our quick trip ended up being 4 hours long!  We finally got to see a Momma Grizzly and her 2 cubs, a Black Bear and a get a nice picture of a Bull Elk.  What a great day and a great stay at Yellowstone National Park.

His rack still has velvet on it!

Last Drive through Custer State Park.

Crazy Horse Volksmarch, SD

We survived. Officially 6.2 miles and 500' climb. Actually by my GPS, 7.5 miles (from where we parked) and 1100' climb (the trail takes you through the woods for a long way, up and down steep trails, then back out this road when you're done)
