It Begins

On our vacation this year, Kim had this idea that we should visit as many National Parks and National Monuments as we can. I thought, that's not a bad idea, how many can there be?This shouldn't take to long a couple of years or so. That is, if you did it full time.  I had no idea. We might as well start in our own backyard. 6 AM Saturday, we are on the road heading west, then a little south. To Pipestone National Monument.  This is the link to the site.
