Have you ever thought of places you would like to visit? Did you put it off, again and again? We have done that over the years.
BUT we are actually going on an adventure.
We are hitting the road on a bus from Rapid City, SD, July 15th.
Mt. Rushmore
Deadwood, SD
Cody, WY
Yellowstone
Sheridan WY
Jackson, WY
Isn't that amazing? God's Hands created such amazing places and things!
We'll be on a bus trip, flying to South Dakota, boarding the bus, heading to the wilderness.
So, I won't be writing anything for that time. I'll wander into the vault for pieces of brilliant writing, and post them. But I will be in bison country, where we will not do anything stupid like other tourists have done.
There are places I plan to visit, beautiful places.The National Geographic shaped my mind to desire to see these places for myself.
I must go to Yellowstone National Park.I don’t have to see Ol’ Faithful geyser, but I must see the mountains, the buffalo, and breathe the pine scented air.
I must go to Mount Rushmore, where someone with a great vision of what could be carved into granite and produced the faces of some of America’s most honored presidents.
I must go to Alaska, and gaze at ancient glaciers, listening to iceberg size pieces ‘calving’.
I probably will manage trips to these amazing natural wonders God created.
But, being greedy, I will wish for one more, knowing that I will never ever go there:Victoria Falls in Africa.Why won’t I go there?Well, I really do not enjoy plane travel, and Africa holds too many questions for me to feel safe, at this point of my non-adventurous soul.But, still I will always wonder about Victoria Falls.
After writing about “UP!” in the previous blog, it is natural for me to think about Victoria Falls, I suppose:V is for Victoria Falls.
To hear the thunderous roar of the water, to feel the spray of the mist rising up from the gorge, to follow the rainbow to its end--these things I will dream about some quiet night.
Thank you, Arlee Bird and your team.
