Took a road trip and did some sightseeing. Spearfish Canyon is a beautiful drive. Uncle Dave already posted a pic or two. We found Roughlock Falls on the drive. It’s kind of hard to find but worth it

I never saw any signs for Roughlock Falls or even saw it on the map we had. Would've loved to stop there but glad you found it and posted them. Those are great pictures!! ?

On a side night, if you go a couple of miles past the falls, they have a marker showing where the final winter camp scene from Dances with Wolves was filmed.

I missed that too. Of course my copilot is always on her darn phone so I'm blaming her.

It is tough to find. On 14A, little place called Savoy. Take FSR 222.

Remember the days we use to only have cassette tapes and an atlas of maps to navigate the route to take! Boy I sure don’t miss those day’s! ?

Me neither! I was just telling Annie the other day when we use to go to my parents house in Florida from Mass I had a map that I added tabs to the top with numbers. This way it was easier for the passenger to look through it and navigate it to me. lol It was mostly a straight shot down but there are a few bypasses and once you get into Florida you had to cross over to the west coast side. The built in nav and the phones gps is so much easier now and reroutes you when there's either traffic or an accident.

I do remember seeing Savoy, oh well hopefully we'll get back there sometime soon. I really enjoyed our stay there and knowing what I know now I would've booked it for another 2 days. These next couple days we're just killing time making our way west through CO seeing the sights which is still nice but I would've rather of stayed there another couple day and then went to Marks house.

We didn't get to go into Estes SP because you needed a reservation. I get why they do this but it's a really pain and you can't always get tickets. I tried getting a reservation for Arches NP 2 months ago and all the morning time slots were already sold out. You can try at 6:00 pm the night before as they have some available then.

We ended up having a great lunch at an Italian restaurant in town then me and Annie headed down to our next hotel. Looking back I wish we had done things a little different and stayed in Custer 2 more days then hung out with Mark and his wife for 2 days. We still had a GREAT time with them non the less and looking forward to meeting up again. Thanks again Mark & Kathy for your hospitality and great company!!! You're always welcome in our home if you're ever in AZ. Sorry to say there were no pictures taken because it started pouring as we were saying our goodbyes. Unless he snuck some in in the middle of the night.

A few shots of the drive up to Estes with some really nice views. Boy the weather here changes in an instant. One minute the sun was out the next it was pouring rain.

Saw this Eruption Green Bronco while in town.

Trip planning hindsight is always “Dang It!” All the same it’s still joyful!!

Dave,
I hope Mark realizes there is a hefty payout for doxing you so we can get spy photos. Now he knows where you live!!!

We had a great time with Dave @AzScorpion and his wonderful lady....Too bad it was so short. We had a few glitches with Estes Park on Friday....the biggest being we couldn't get into Rock Mountain NP because of no reservation and then the rain hit. We had a great Italian lunch at Sweet Basilica in Estes before they headed out on the next leg of their adventure. Dave you are welcome back to our house anytime man! You and Ms. A are a class act for sure! Hopefully we can make that trip to Yellowstone work for next year.....

On a funny side note.....I didn't even look at Dave's damper....lol. (although I meant too)
I also forgot to give them a stick of my Antelope sausage I made specifically for them coming...lol.
Forgot to even give them a taste.....Dave has that mesmerizing effect on you so you forget things...

His truck looks great btw.....I'm jealous of those Eibach coil-overs man!

Ughhh, lets see.....
You didn't see Dave's "Damper", and you forgot to give him some of your "sausage"...
Am I missing something here ???
