Plans? We don't need no stinking plans...

Well, things may (and I emphasize may) be firming up for our initial destinations for our trip.  But then again you never know.  We're planning to go to Pymatuning State Park in Pennsylvania on Pymatuning Lake on the Ohio/PA border for the weekend of June 28-29 to camp out with our daughter, son-in-law and grandson.  At this point I'm thinking we'll leave home on Wednesday and head to Malabar Farms State Park in Ohio and then on Punderson State Park on Thursday to see a couple of Ohio parks we've never been to.  And then after the weekend we expect to be heading west with an ultimate destination of the Dakotas: the Badlands, the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, Devils Tower, Teddy Roosevelt National Park, all those sorts of things.  On the way there who knows: Clear Lake Iowa to see the Buddy Holly/Big Bopper/Ritchie Vallens crash site in Clear Lake Iowa, the Winnebago factory in Forest City, IA, the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota and Wall Drug in, where was it again?, oh yeah, Wall, SD.  And maybe if we're lucky we can find a big ball of yarn, half buried Cadillacs, or Babe the Blue Ox or something to divert our attention on the way.  We'll keep you posted as things develop and change as I'm sure they will.
