BLACK HILLS CONVOY - ARDMORE & HOT SPRINGS, SD
The Black Hills MVPA Convoy (day 3) passed through the old ghost town of Ardmore on its way north from Fort Robinson, Nebraska on the old Fort Sidney to Deadwood wagon road. The almost dead town was once the home of Texas Jack, a notorious horse thief, who later took to the stage and worked for Buffalo Bill who convinced Jack to enter the 1,000 mile Chadron, NE to Chicago horse race. I believe this is the basis to the film HIDALGO. As we continued north toward Hot Springs we passed the Wild Horse Sanctuary which where some of HIDALGO's scenes were filmed. We plan to stop here on the next Black Hills Convoy in June of 2016.
Proceeding north we crossed the Cheyenne River and entered the Black Hills stopping briefly at Cascade Falls for a picnic lunch. Next stop was at the Hot Springs' Information Center (their old train station) where the convoy split as some were anxious to get to the evening's destination, Blue Bell Lodge in Custer State Park. The more adventurous did a walk-about town and then drove up to the top of Battle Mountain, named for the Cheyenne vs. Sioux Indian skirmish there that took place in 1869. Battle Mountain is a SD conservation area with a great off-road jeep trail. This area can be accessed by taking Thompson Road east (near the Dew Drop Inn). In 2016 we plan for an evening sunset off-road drive to the top after dinner and a pre-breakfast longer incursion the following morning. Hot Springs will be our first stop after leaving Fort Rob in 2016 staying at the Historic Log Cabin Motel which is where we stayed on the convoy's return leg. Everyone liked their stay at this old 1929 road stop. The motel features views of the landmark old soldier's home (VA) and the Black Hills Natl. Cemetery from the patio.
The music is GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY from (with permission) 'Live at the Circle B' DVD as sung by Stan Jones.
If you have been following the convoy you might ask, Why am I not seeing lots of vehicles? The convoy was kept small on purpose. The most we had, I think, was 13 including the two chase vehicles. As I was the lead vehicle and had no cameraman my video did not capture a lot of the convoy's vehicles which were all behind me. Whenever we stopped I was more concerned with taking photos of the places we toured rather than the vehicles as I already have photo albums full of old army wheels. Next time the convoy will be open to 30 vehicles + 6 chase vehicles. Registration will begin at the Louisville MVPA Convention in June of 2014.

USA Road Trip in the Midwest | Driving from North Dakota to Michigan
Come join us for a family USA road trip as we showcase our journey driving from North Dakota to Michigan in this travel vlog. We start things off in Alberta, Canada crossing into the province of Saskatchewan and then heading south towards North Dakota. Our border crossing from Canada to USA was an absolute breeze as we were the only person in line at the border and the border control officer was very friendly.
After a long day of driving we checked into a cheap motel Super 8 in Williston, North Dakota. The following day we drove the width of North Dakota and entered into the state of Minnesota. The scenery changed from mostly farmland to more trees and lakes. Our final stop on day number two was in Alexandria, Minnesota where we stayed in another cheap motel.
After having a couple of very mediocre stays in motels we decided we'd go for an airbnb for our third night of the road trip. On day three we drove across Minnesota and crossed into Wisconsin where we stayed the night in a house in Racine.
The following day, our final day of the road trip saw us crossing more states than any other day on this trip. We stared off in Wisconsin and touched down briefly in Illinois and Indiana before spending the rest of our journey in Michigan. We came back into Canada through Sarnia at the border between Michigan and Ontario.
This border crossing was much more active than the first one but it still didn't take us long to get through. With just a few hours left we finished off by driving back home to Brampton.
Overall, it was a fantastic 14 day road trip and we covered over 9000 kilometres (5600 miles) with all of the sightseeing including for the return trip to Alberta and back home.

USA Road Trip Vlog | Driving from North Dakota to Michigan Video Transcript:
How are you all doing today? Well, I'll tell you here we are. Here we are.
I'll tell you what we're going to be doing. We have got a very long road trip (USA road trip). We drove all of the way out west from Ontario to British Columbia. Mmhmm. Now we're heading back home but instead of going back through Canada we've decided to go through the USA. Yes. Yeah. We thought we might enjoy a little change of scenery. Mmmhmm.
You know, see something different. Yep. And also like driving through the Prairies on the way to BC it felt a bit long. Yep. So thought let's see something new, something different. It is still going to take us four days but the journey is a little shorter just by a few hours. Yeah. So yeah we're going to bring you along on this little road trip. Right now we're having a little snack. Some Timmies. Our last Tim Hortons before leaving Canada. Yeah, we'll be crossing the border in Saskatchewan very soon. So exciting times.
We spent most of the day driving in Canada. We did. Who knew the border was so far away. And we crossed in through Saskatchewan. The Province of Saskatchewan into North Dakota. Yeah. And we were the only people at the border. The only people there. The border security guard was really friendly. He did his job he asked us a lot of questions but in a friendly way. Yes. And he liked the dog even though Togo barked at him. It is even what surprised me was when we arrived in North Dakota it was even quieter than Saskatchewan which is a pretty quiet province in Canada. It is very peaceful. Let's hope we get a good nights rest.
Now that we're in Michigan it is a lot more reasonable and we're heading up north. We had the option of going through Detroit but we're going to go through and cross through Sarnia into Ontario. Yeah. We're thinking there will be less traffic. And the dog is thrilled to be out going for a walk at the moment. Stretching our legs. Look at how green it is. It is nice here.
We're back in Canada!

Carlos Montezuma: Changing is Not Vanishing
A new documentary film on the story of Dr. Carlos Montezuma, the first Native American alumnus of the University of Illinois. Montezuma was born in 1866 in the Arizona territory. As a small boy, he was stolen from his family and sold as a slave. He spent his early childhood on the road with an Italian photographer, and performed with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show before starting school in Chicago.
In 1884, Montezuma was the first Native American to graduate from the University of Illinois and later became one of the first to earn a medical degree. After working for the Bureau of Indian Affairs as a reservation doctor and witnessing the widespread poverty and bureaucratic corruption, he fought tirelessly for Native American rights and citizenship. When his own Yavapai tribe faced removal from their ancestral home, Montezuma went to Washington, D.C., to fight for and finally secure their land and water rights, setting a precedent for other Indian nations. Narration is by Hattie Kauffman, longtime CBS news reporter/anchor and a member of the Nez Perce tribe.
