SITES WE ARE SORRY WE DIDN’T SEE

June 19-21

OIL WELL DUG BY HAND! Somewhere in Wyoming, on highway 90, there was a dilapidated billboard with this screaming headline. It promised an underground tour (sign me up!) We passed the actual tourist attraction a few miles later and it had apparently been closed for quite a long, long time. The buildings, derricks and various wheels, belts and pulleys were melting into the earth. Only the converted oil storage “Gift Tank” was still standing.

RUSHMORE CAVES! They must be really something as the selling feature on the billboard said, “Closest Cave to Mt Rushmore!”

Billboard advertisement: STATE OF THE ART SHOWER HEADS! Almost enough to make us abandon the RV and check into that motel…
