HORRIBLE HOTEL the shower was so moldy none of us would go in it and we changed our 2 nite stay to one nite. DO NOT stay here if you can avoid it. Drive straight to Devils Tower and then stay at the VERY nice Comfort Inn at Worland, WY on the way to Yellowstone. The steakhouse in Buffalo, WY was yummy.

I live here in California and the pictures of the Golden Gate are awesome. I love that bridge so much. I have been out here for almost 11 yrs now and still take pictures of that bridge all the time. I feel that it is one of the most beautiful things ever that was man made. Thank you for sharing all your awesome photos.

Rushmore, Custer, BadLands national park and whatever else there is to see. We will get back to you as we go..Thanks

Hi
Great pictures and comments. Do upi use an online travel journal or do you use some type of software to list your travels? We will be taking a trip soon and I would like to sort of use the same format that you are using.
Is it fairly easy to use? How about uploading photos?
Sorry for all the questions, but this looks like a great way to save memories of a trip.
Thanks
