Okay, then I'm going to make it turn easier, I do this.
Okay, that's all.
I just want to make sure it's working.
It's Lambeau Field, one of the Green Bay Packers.
On Nevada's right is the Green Bay Packer Hall of Fame.
And right behind her is Walter Payton's restaurant, Wally's.
It's called Payton's.
There's a big dome on the other side there.
That's the Hall of Fame.
Right?
That big dome.
Yeah, it's on the right.
Well, because there's a domed roof there, you can't see.
Around a big circle, she'll keep going.
We're going to show the motel we stayed at.
She's coming into view right now.
I've got to zoom in on Payton.
Right, yeah, I've got to bring you around.
You can turn up otherwise.
Bring it all around.
Gary, you're bumping me.
I want you to keep going to the right.
Where's our motel?
Right there.
Did you get the practice field right here?
Green Bay Packer practice field.
That's the indoor practice field, this big building here is the indoor practice field.
And then on the right of it...
Are that green fences?
That's the outdoor practice field.
That's where we watched them play in 87.
That's where we watched a couple of...
They were practicing?
Right, and they've covered it now, which I think is a good idea.
I don't think they should be showing people what they're going to be doing this year.
This was on television last night.
What street is that?
Oneida Street.
Oneida Street?
And they made a big hoopla about that.
Want to see it?
Well, that street over here where the cars are coming across,
there's been a lot of complaints that the traffic comes by this street too quickly
and the people who are trying to get to the outdoor practice field to see the Packers,
they can't get across in time.
A kid got hit a couple days ago and this caused a lot of controversy.
So they're thinking of ways of doing something with this street here.
Now the cars are moving kind of slow right now, but you look at them around noon,
and they're just racing by, so they're thinking about bridges over the...
They said a walkway over would be too expensive.
But they haven't really decided on anything yet.
Gary says the players are going in now for practice.
A lot of them have gone in in their uniforms already.
Another one.
Two bicycles.
Green Bay Packers.
Cool and very humid here.
Very damp.
Eighty-two.
These people are all waiting just to see them come in.
Football Hall of Fame here.
Packer Hall of Fame, I should say.
It's on the other side of where we were before.
Lambeau Field's right basically in the back of that Packer Hall of Fame sign,
around a block and a half or two blocks.
Coming into view to the right, we'll be seeing...
There's Nevada. I don't know what the hell she's doing over there.
Here.
She's very interested in football.
She likes football a lot.
Hi. She's waving.
Okay, there she is.
Okay, wonderful.
I guess she wants me to turn it off so I can get her where I want to get her.
She'll be right in front of this baby here.
This is the NFL Packer Memorial.
I bet one of them is going over there, so I have no idea.
Okay, I'm going to hand it up.
There's a shot of this fella here. It's into the sun, so I'm going to be very careful.
Blur out on me.
This is Lombardi Avenue here.
These cars are running on Lombardi Avenue.
What have you.
Wave. Wave to the camera. There you go.
Good morning, America.
Good morning, Green Bay Packers.
I'm America. I'm Mr. America.
That's right, you got it.
Very good.
All right, that's the jalapeno.
And let's come back over here.
She's going to kill me.
Yeah, they're all about 10, 12 feet high.
Those guys are big.
Yeah, they were big boys.
They eat a lot.
Oh, come on, Amber. You're so pretty.
Yes.
Yeah.
She's going to hide behind you, Rudy.
Okay, get her.
I got her. Ah.
Oh.
No, but she would have if she talked to me.
Oh.
You're who?
Laura.
Laura, I can hardly hear.
And you are?
Megan.
Megan and?
I am Alex.
Alex, which stands for Alexander.
Thank you.
And someday when you're growing up and you'll look at these,
you'll see them when you were little.
Yeah.
Did you ever see that clock that he made all on the wood?
I think I did.
Yeah.
Did you ever see it, buddy?
Hi.
Today is?
July 31st, 1994.
We are in Mandan, South Dakota,
at the Abraham Lincoln National Park.
No, just where you were.
Welcome to the Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park in Mandan, North Dakota.
We are going to look at the Fort Abraham Lincoln Fort and Custer's House,
the one you see in photos, et cetera.
Good afternoon, America.
Good afternoon.
And the Indian slant houses that are behind you and over there, right?
Yes, they are.
They've been here a lot longer than I have.
We're inside a hut.
And this is the inside.
Down here is a fire, right in the fire.
And here is a circular sphere, structure.
There's Nevada.
Hi, Nevada.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm good.
Oh, good.
That means good in Arabic.
No, it means hello.
It means hello.
Okay, now, oh, the sun's right above me now.
It's kind of cool in here.
Let me walk out the door here.
They're walking out the door.
I've got to tend out a little bit.
I'll show you what it looks like when they come out here.
Okay, I'll look around here.
Now, coming back to where we were.
This is where we were, right in here.
If you look in there, it's kind of dark.
Over here and back.
Nevada's going to go crazy.
But she says she wants most of this for Yellowstone, so we'll preserve it.
And the river is this way, Missouri River, I think.
The tree is also on the other side.
Nevada, there's something I want to see here.
This is a porch of General Custer.
This is Libby.
Hi, Libby.
There he goes.
But I really went with him for 15 miles.
What's the noise over here?
What's going on?
This is a porch of Veranda.
Where are you?
A blind man here.
And over here we got the people.
There's the remnants of the officer's quarters here.
Those are the foundations there.
Step to it, troops.
Oh, you're free to go from the General's porch.
There's our guide.
That guy there is our guide.
There's the porch.
There are more of the foundations of the fort, officer's quarters, right here.
This is the grounds of the fort here.
I'm walking, so it's a little shaky.
It's because I am on foot, but I want to get back and get the house.
I've got to go kind of quick because Nevada wants to use most of this.
I'm on the wrong side.
I'm going to cut it right here.
Where is the General's house?
This is Custer's house.
This is the front.
And up close it looks like, yay.
There's some action going on over here.
Which way?
To the right.
I'm going around a complete circle of this place.
This is the port.
It's a circle.
Panoramic view.
One of the police parking lots coming into view.
There's a parking lot.
Back again, we're coming back to the General's, there's the officer's quarters foundations there.
And over back to George's place.
I thought George wasn't home today.
He went to some battle for the afternoon.
I don't know what that was all about.
And that's where I'll cut it.
I was tapped on the arm by my wife in Nevada.
So I'm going to say goodbye.
I wanted to say or add to what Gary said.
Is that the porch?
That's the one you see on the North Dakota Department of Tourism film where Libby was waving goodbye to her husband.
He said actually she didn't wave goodbye to him.
She usually went with him for the first 13 miles because they brought the officer's pay with.
So they got paid after 13 miles out where they camped for the night.
And the next day they got their pay.
That way they wouldn't go spend it all on whiskey and probably not show up.
Custer gave orders.
Standing orders that when she was.
If she was captured by Indians.
When she was not with the General, no matter where she was, when she was with other people, the standing orders was if they were attacked by Indians, they were to kill Libby first.
Right.
New Salem, North Dakota.
This is that cow that sits up on that hill.
It's the world's largest cow.
I think he's about 140 miles high.
Not quite sure about that though.
Nevada's going up.
She's right there.
I'm going to go up a little bit more.
I think the mountain's 140 miles high.
The world's largest Holstein cow is 38 feet high, 50 feet long, and weighs 12,000 pounds.
Salem Sioux was erected in 1974 at a cost of nearly $40,000, contributed by dairymen, farmers, businessmen, the dairy industry, and area residents.
The New Salem Lions organized the project and the club continues to maintain the site.
The New Salem High School athletic teams boast the name Holsteins as a tribute to the area's dairy industry.
New Salem is recognized one of the North Dakota's preeminent dairy centers.
Thank you, and goodbye, Salem Sioux.
I want to get you in contrast to the size.
Nevada, under there, that's the size of the cow.
Gives you a good idea of the size of it.
You have to be careful under that end.
Yeah.
There's some milkers there.
All right.
There she is.
I think we've got enough of this.
I've got enough of this cow, so I'm turning off.
This is New Salem, North Dakota.
This is the town just off I-94 by the big cow.
That's really what North Dakota looks like.
Freeway over there.
Ah!
More freeway.
Head of a cow, a wild cow.
And the interstate.
I'm the tallest person in North Dakota.
You probably are the tallest person in North Dakota right now.
Nothing taller than you.
You look like Herman.
I'm taller than everybody.
Herman's Heights in New Ulm.
This mini mountain we're standing on is all sandstone,
which has crumbled and is pure sand in places.
We're in North Dakota and the Badlands Theater Worth National Park.
Madura.
It's August 1st, Monday. Good afternoon, America.
No, then they get accustomed to being fed.
Yeah, she's so cute.
Hi there.
Can't make the zoom work.
Oh, there it goes.
Hello.
Hi.
He's coming.
He's working his way over.
Yeah.
I see you.
Oh, don't move.
Not while I'm moving the camera.
See you take two.
No, I think the sun would wash it out even more.
This is Theodore Roosevelt National Park Road.
Oops.
There's bedrock.
Bad road.
Yeah, I know.
It's right here.
It doesn't look like the rapids at all.
I have a bed here every day.
I'm going to bring her up one of these.
North Dakota Badlands Overlook.
Very similar to South Dakota Badlands, but not as rugged, not as sharp, jagged.
This is more rounded.
Notice that people here are just carrying on like a bunch of banshees.
They don't give a rip.
Why would you?
More considerate of other people, more respectful.
They're real jagged and rough.
Still going down here.
It was fine before.
Keep going. Don't either stop completely or we'll keep going.
Is there anything in there?
It's kind of hard.
I'll have to enjoy this from an armchair sometime.
This is too hot today.
It's very, very hot.
There's a nice breeze, but it's still very hot.
I'll have one mile back and it's not too spectacular, but interesting.
There goes the battery.
The little town looks like an old frontier town.
We're in Red Lodge, Montana.
Where did you say we were?
Oh good, are we going to go over the Beartooth Pass?
You can come.
You're probably too young to remember these gas stations.
We had one across the street from us like that.
Did you, that little?
Standard. It was about twice that size maybe, but it was shaped like that.
Aren't they cute?
I'm just going to get Red Lodge real quick.
We are not going to be able to go over the mountains.
As Gary said, the pass is closed for road construction.
I got something for you on the right, an AGA food store.
This is the alternate route.
We won't be going over the scenic Beartooth Pass, but this is the next best.
It's a long way down.
Yeah, let's find a pretty one and stop and have coffee.
I'm getting it. I'd get it faster if you weren't moving.
These are the Beartooths. I keep wanting to say big horns.
They are the Beartooths.
That is a big cloud over the Beartooths.
I'm right here. Hi.
This is Chief Joseph Scenic Highway.
It's Highway number 296.
We almost missed it, but Gary had his eyes open.
Thank you.
It goes to Cook City.
We've gone straight ahead and when we were on it went to Cody.
The clouds are beautiful.
The weather is nice. It's comfortable. It's not hot.
Ways back we passed a mine that it caved in in 1943 killing 74 miners.
Miners that were left were Walter and Johnny.
They wrote a goodbye message to their family on the wall of the mine.
That's real sad.
That's two of the miners that were going to die at 74.
They knew they were going to die at two of the 74.
They knew they were trapped and that methane gas would get them.
They wrote, what, we will die an easy death?
Yeah, something like that.
Goodbye to wives and daughters.
I need another gear.
We missed the Beartooths.
Missed the Beartooth Pass.
Beartooth Pass is the highest elevation in the Rocky Mountains with the exception of Colorado.
Charles Caroll described it in 1989 as America's most beautiful highway.
But I'd say this is lovely too, wouldn't you?
Look at that slant on that. Look at that tilt on that.
There's where we're going to go over there.
We reserved a motel. We had to call ahead reservations or we'd have been shut out.
There weren't too many left.
So with tax it will be about $85 for tonight and tomorrow night,
but that way we've got reservations in Yellowstone.
$79 per night, which will be $80 with tax.
That is really bad.
We stopped on a lonely little wayside. There's no people here, just us.
There's Charles Caroll and it was just popped.
Man, I love those clouds.
That's where we're going to go up there.
This looks like Luray and Durango, doesn't it?
A million dollar highway, but it's the cheap Joseph scenic.
This is the alternate route replacing Beartooth Pass.
Colors are very pretty here.
What would you call them? Red and green and blue and white?
Yeah.
That's a pretty road.
Where are those Japanese people?
Very colorful.
We're in the blasting area.
Is that smoke or clouds?
There's my cloud.
That is a road way over there.
We've been doing this in a plastic bag while we went through the dust.
Perfect.
For the telephone wire, we're by a pile of debris on the side of the road, which makes the natural thing.
Oh, we're going to go again.
Pile of debris. Oh, there's a little, it's not a lake.
Wow.
That way when we get home, you'll be able to appreciate this because you're driving now.
We're pretty close to the end.
All hairpin curves. Oh, great. We get to move way over to the edge and there's not even a guardrail.
There's part of our crew, part of the crew down there working.
We are down quite a ways. Many, many, many layers of road down coming here.
It feels like the bottom compared to where we've been. But as you can see, we're still way up there.
I think they're going to make a turnaround there.
We kept this in the bag most of the time because it's so dusty.
He's doing very well. He hasn't gone over the edge once. He hasn't used his brakes. We're in gear, some gear.
The hairpin curve we're going around. They're pretty over there.
We're going around too.
Seattle grade.
Gravel road.
Munching popcorn.
Light at the end of the tunnel.
Back on pavement.
We found another place with a crazy horse. When we're done with the one, they can start another one right over there. Why not?
Are we stopping again?
There's a Japanese guy. He wants to get through this park in record time.
Beautiful country. We're in Wyoming. We went from Montana to Wyoming. We'll be going back to Montana.
We'll go to Wyoming for Yellowstone and our lodging is in Montana.
Down and down and down and down.
Here's what it looks like in real life.
Here, it's pretty deep. It goes down and down and down and down and down and down and down.
Get over to my left.
Nevada.
This is the other side of it here. This is the other side of it. It's the rail.
It goes right down. Here's my foot.
Rock cliff. It's all man-made. Just kidding.
I don't know what that sound is down there. It's beautiful.
That would be the time the car wouldn't start if we saw Grizzly coming at you.
What's the name of the movie? Grizz? This is a total circle I'm making. A couple raindrops.
Rain over there.
There's a battery to zoom. I don't think I will. Another place we could have had our lunch, which was constituted of popcorn, grapes, and coffee, and toast.
Going by a campground.
We're going to have a group photo taken here. These huge boulders by the side of the road. They're so big.
There they are. Aren't they big?
Compared to the car, look how big they are. Wow. Okay, just a minute.
Setting up the camera for our photo.
And there's snow. Little teeny patches of snow up there. It's so high.
We are in Yellowstone. We came in kind of a north eastern entrance.
We are heading for Mammoth because we got two rooms reserved in Gardner, which is just five miles north of what used to be the main entrance. Teddy Roosevelt dedicated the gateway and the entrance in I think it was 1903.
That's snow.
Got it. It's like snow.
I think those are the Mammoth hot springs that we will go back to see after we check into our hotel.
I don't know, that's about what the map says it should be.
So it's the only place in the park there's anything like this.
It's on the right side of the road.
Hi, this is Yellowstone National Park. It's August 4th, 1994.
We are right above Mammoth Hot Springs. Good morning America.
This is August 4th, 1994. We're at Yellowstone National Park. Mammoth Springs are in the background. Good morning America.
Five miles below that in the canyon and we're just going to pan it real quick. That's the top of Minerva Springs that we walked around last night.
Beautiful from the lower side.
This is just the beginning of our day tour.
First stop.
But we spent, what, about two hours here last night.
Yeah, I know, I'm just going to get this little guy first.
It's an elk?
Elk.
My goodness.
It's not much shade, is it? It's not much to eat either.
Watch the ears change when I zoom back.
Oh, it did make a noise.
Bye.
Isn't that neat?
And two more.
One with horns over there on the left and another one laying down the right.
Cliffs were named sheep eaters after the Indians who occupied them and ate sheep.
There goes a sheep eater right now.
There he is.
These are made of basalt lava.
Looks like the same formations at Devil's Tower except in miniature.
Way downstream.
I put my hand in front because I thought that I'd left my finger.
Most of the right-hand side of the road were the last 20 miles or hours bent over trees.
And the forest fire, it was 1980, 1988.
We're blaming this on George Bush.
In the basin you can see the fire damage again all through this area.
New growth coming up where the fire went through.
This one goes off, the last time was October 2, 1991.
Want to come sit with me?
You don't have a steam block.
I'm okay with that.
I pulled my hand.
I'm okay with that.
Biggie?
Ooh, hot.
When the wind comes this way, it's hot steam.
Whoa, there we go.
It's like the Fourth of July.
Sounds like waves splashing on a beach.
Yeah, there's a pond pool.
I'm going to give it a little color action here.
Rather than zoom, I'll walk it over.
And over here, she's kind of losing it.
Getting tired and hot, hungry.
It's hot.
We can't hear it if we talk.
Sounds like my stomach.
More of these potholes, it's very interesting.
Nevada wants clouds.
I've got to go get some clouds here.
There's some clouds.
Okay, she said good.
I've got to come back down.
Bubble, bubble, bubble.
Yeah, baby bubble.
Yeah, sucker.
Ooh, yeah, all right.
Okay, it's not big, it's just a little thing.
Bubble.
Yeah, this is, where is this, Nevada?
Firehole basin.
There's a hole in the ground right there, that's high.
You can feel the steam coming out.
You can go look right in there, it's deep blue.
Is that enough for you, Nevada?
Goodbye.
Look at these babies.
They're mud pies.
They're great.
Unbelievable.
Okay.
How about this, ladies and gentlemen?
This will knock your socks off.
I know it's over there, probably nothing coming back over here.
Look at that.
That was quite something.
I'm just going to go a little faster here because I want to show you Nevada.
There's Nevada right there.
A little quick, but she's going to get ticked off, but I want to get her on camera.
This is down a couple steps.
That one's been going right there since we arrived.
Oh yeah.
Yes.
Okay, well we can say this is the area where we saw a mother bear and two cubs just beyond the bridge.
There is a waterfall.
Today we're going to save some for Old Faithful.
Where should I turn it?
This is Old Faithful.
Today is Friday, August 5th.
We're at the Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park.
Old Faithful is supposed to go off pretty darn soon.
I'm just going to sit here and wait for the darn thing to go.
I'm going to get you Nevada.
I'm going to get Nevada here.
It's hot today.
It's either August 5th or August 6th, but it's Friday anyways.
We're staying another day.
How's it look over there?
You missed it.
You scared the gbdb's out of me as I just about said, shipwreck.
We're waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting.
Over here is more of the terrain.
There's a bunch of geysers in there.
We walk through there.
Here it starts.
Here it comes.
Stopped.
Here it goes.
Keep on going.
Don't lose it.
Here we go.
Here's Old Faithful.
You're late.
Yeah, I'm getting it right here.
It was about 10 minutes late.
Here's Old Faithful.
Nevada.
That doesn't sound like it's spinning.
It's going.
You see it moving?
Yeah, I can see it moving.
I can't hear a thing.
Maybe I had it on too long.
No, I'm just going to do it right here.
Are you sure it's spinning?
It's going around.
I can usually hear a hum.
Old Faithful.
Coming down to the end.
What?
There she is.
Here's my finger.
Can I go forward without hitting anybody?
Now, Nevada, do you want me to record this?
Should I turn it on now?
Going to 20.
That's about it.
All right, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
And they go down.
Where are we?
Kepler Falls.
Kepler Falls in Yellowstone.
West of West Thumb.
Quiet little roadside rest.
All these cars going by.
Is Gary on log?
He's a bump on log.
We stopped at.
We just left West Thumb.
We're heading for Fishing Bridge, then Canyon.
Canyon Village to see the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone,
Inspiration Point, Artist Point.
Yes, you are.
He's a redhead.
This is so beautiful here.
It's so cool.
The breeze coming across the lake is cool.
And we've been so hot that your clothes are wet.
Yellowstone Lake.
We've just left West Thumb after going 22 miles to the South Gate
on the wrong road because I turned him the wrong way.
22 miles back.
And there is a pelican right by the end of the branch there.
See the pelican?
There he goes.
Not going to zoom because we have to save the battery.
Just down the way out of Dragon's Mouth.
Where are we?
We're between West Fishing Bridge and Canyon.
These are mud volcanoes down the hill.
I haven't turned yet.
The belching noise is from the sounds of the water
hitting the caverns way down in.
The temperature of this water is 185 degrees.
And it's called Dragon's Mouth Springs.
Too bad the video can't pick up the stink.
What happened?
It's just the steam coming out.
Okay, let's go get the milk out.
This is the inspiration point.
Here's the mud volcano.
Here.
Okay, hear that?
There you go.
Look at that.
Mud.
Unadulterated, filthy, stinking mud.
Goo.
I don't know.
There's some more goo at a different angle.
This is Black Dragon's Cauldron.
It was discovered in 1948.
Year of our Lord.
Mine too, how about that?
Well, it's kind of the same.
Anyways, this is what it looks like.
I already mentioned it as the year of our Lord.
The black is what?
Okay.
And she's right on that account too.
I can verify that very easily.
What's that noise?
Is that a bird?
A mud cauldron.
It's kind of sitting there getting muddy.
I don't know why they do it.
They like, they get real close to these things.
And they stink.
You can't drink it.
It's not comfortable.
It's not very brilliant in color.
It's not green or lush.
But they, it attracts the animals in this park.
And you probably figure that.
So it's not a novelty that they're here.
They somehow are relaxed and soothed by the water action or the something.
I don't know.
I guess you've got to be a buffalo.
This is a steaming cauldron.
Just down the road from Dragon's Mouth.
And our cars up there.
Yeah, they cross the road right behind our car.
All right.
The reason I'm jiggling, I'm going to sit in my seat and I'm breaking my back.
I think this picture, it's not a natural angle for me.
Nobody is out of their cars.
Grand Canyon of Yellowstone here.
I'm going to go a little fast because time's running out.
This is probably running out and we've got to get out of the park.
I thought I was going to go along here, show you what we've got here.
This is a waterfall.
Canyon walls.
We've got all that down there.
I went real slow in here.
But not yelling from the back.
This is August 7th, Saturday.
We're at Beartooth Pass.
Good morning, good afternoon, America.
We're going back to the summit because we were so concerned about the car because it died.
We were so concerned about it that we didn't think about the camcorder.
We took pictures, but not this.
Saturday, we are in Beartooth Pass, Wyoming.
I think Montana is that way.
We're going to see a sign, good morning, good afternoon, America.
You've got a green lake to your left.
But you can't see how high up because we don't have all the switchbacks.
We're going down.
Okay, there I got the little lakes way down there.
This is the summit.
We're coming up to the summit.
Right here is the ski jump, the ski trail.
Chairlift.
This is the summit.
Two more feet, two more feet.
As high as you go.
This is the summit.
It's pretty barren up here.
There are no trees.
We're above the tree line or the timber line.
We have come up switchbacks that were layered like ten deep, layers and layers.
And beautiful trees and lakes all over.
Didn't get them.
This is what is left of the winter melt, I suppose.
All these little lakes down here.
And that's Montana over there.
That's where the road construction starts.
There will be 16 miles of road construction.
And then ten more miles beyond that is Red Lodge.
This was closed.
Coming up the other side, it was closed.
And then they opened it, but they had a rock slide, so they closed it again.
The edge I'm standing on is pretty gravelly.
It came down from there.
And it pretty much ends right here.
I'm not going any closer.
I'm just going.
See, that's where we came up from.
We got to a big turnoff.
Huge turnoff.
Come on here.
You need this.
That's got to be pretty down below.
There's not much room.
That'll look the same as up there.
It's just lower down.
Now the area where we looked down, saw all those switchbacks,
we haven't come to that replica of that here yet.
I think we will.
We'll get that sheer wall over there when we turn the next one.
Oh, now I don't have much gas left.
Oh, it's working.
Oh, shoot.
I missed that whole hairpin curve.
I thought it said record, but it probably didn't.
Just missed a beautiful hairpin.
That's where we got a turn around right there.
We're going to climb into exactly quarter 2 knots, 3.30.
Really?
I can't get it.
The railing is right where the camera would go.
I can look below, but we can't.
This is where we made our UEE.
Oh, I wouldn't stop out in the middle of the road.
Yes, you are.
Oh, shoot, the E is coming, Gary.
Keep it going.
You're out in the middle of the street, I think.
No, I'm fine here.
We're getting to the E, we're getting to the N. Goodbye.
Well, we've just left Beartooth.
That's probably still Beartooth, I don't know.
It's Beartooth Mountains.
We had a good time carving after the first one.
Hi, today's August 8th, Sunday.
I think it is.
Sunday.
It's the 7th.
7th.
We are heading into the Bighorn Mountains.
Good afternoon, America.
Those are the Bighorns, and we're going to go up into them.
We decided to backtrack again so we can go over the Bighorn Pass,
take the scenic route, and we're going to come down in Sheridan.
Sheridan.
This is approaching the Bighorns.
Still a step.
Far away.
Bighorns.
Yesterday it was Beartooth, today it's the Bighorn.
Wyoming.
Are we in?
Wyoming.
Sunday.
There's red in the hills.
They look so rugged.
Red, white, and blue and green.
Yep.
Look at the red that baby is.
Yeah.
We had to wait for the scenic viewpoint, but I don't.
I think I see it right here.
This is the way you start up into the mountains.
You always start up through a canyon.
And this is 205 to 300 million years old.
290 to 300 million.
300.
300 million.
290 to 300 million.
It's the Triassic period.
300 million is a bit old.
The Bighorn National Forest.
Okay.
Holy fuck this.
Now what does this say?
330 to 360 million years old.
Now campfires.
Right there.
The Pyramid Peak.
And the Mesa.
There it goes.
Pyramid Peak.
It seems like we're going around the same bend.
Look at the bighorns that we've been in and we're going down now.
It's going down out of the bighorns.
There's nothing to see right now.
The switchbacks are surrounded by trees.
Unlike the Beartooth, which was barren.
Whoa.
We're going down. It's 11 miles of steep grade.
It's pretty.
The way the rocks have tilted.
We're looking for a place to pull over, but while it's still nice and cool up here.
But there's no pull-ups.
Whoa.
See their hairpin curves are rather camouflaged by trees.
Our distant panoramas are hazy because there's so many forest fires all over eight states.
While we've gone two down of the 11, there's only nine more down.
Oh.
It's more here.
Pretty.
When you get home and look at it, it'll be pretty.
Doesn't look like home rapids.
These are the bighorns.
She has the trailer full.
Oh, this is pretty.
Geary.
Oh, yeah. It's nice.
There's a pull-off. We could have eaten there.
Yeah, that's the first one they had.
I know it. They haven't done any.
Gee, we always stop too soon or too late.
There's another one coming up.
Another place we could have eaten.
Do you believe it?
410 million years old.
Oh, there's a panorama way over there.
Point of interest.
That's the Fallen City. Rock slid.
A section of the Earth's crust sank, and then huge chunks broke loose and fell down.
Mucho nice.
I didn't have much film left. That was so pretty.
Kind of making up for yesterday.
Another point of interest.
I know. That's where we were. Up there.
Going down, down, down.
Coming down from the Bighorns.
Just left Sheridan a ways back.
Still August 7th.
Sunday.
A lot of motorcycles pass us on their way to Sturges.
Still a fair-toothed range over there, but it's a lot shorter.
Nice road in front of us. Take a look at it.
We're on I-90. We just got on I-90 and it's the first time we've been on interstate since August 2nd, and it's the 7th.
We've been in the mountains for five days.
No fences on the right.
Oh, it's a pretty panorama.
We'll be pretty going tomorrow, too. We'll go through.
We're going to head to Gillette tonight. Tomorrow we'll see
Spear Sundance, Spearfish, and then Sturges.
And then probably Deadwood.
And we're going to miss Natasha.
There's no way we'll be headed back. We'll be probably in Mitchell when she's going the other way.
Everything.
It's kind of pretty, isn't it?
Yeah.
The clouds are starting to build up.
They always do, every time we come into them.
Beautiful clouds.
Crazy Woman Creek Road.
Oh, here comes the E.
Oh, good. We can get rid of that.
Just cave it all the way through.
This is still August 7th, Sunday. We're coming to the end of our trail into Gillette.
And the end of the tape.
So this is where we'll end it today. We'll see you tomorrow morning.
There's the rest area. We'll rest.
We'll rest our case.
See you Monday morning.
Monday morning.
Pretty bleak, isn't it?
Get over the left lane, turn left.
We're on the Black Hills. We're in Spearfish and on our way to Sturgis.
This is Spearfish, South Dakota.
Hi. It's Monday morning. We're in Spearfish, South Dakota. Just crossed the border from Wyoming. Good morning, America.
It's right there on your camera.
No.
There's a biker in front of us.
Spearfish.
There's a biker coming on the left.
Well, when you watch the road, we're going to turn left.
We are?
Yes.
Oh, shit.
Oh, they've got tents set up here, Gary, where they're selling stuff.
That's no good. Those are Kawasaki.
Honda.
I'll give you a mirror.
Well, you drive nice, though.
I won't run anybody over.
It's cool.
Yeah, it's breezy in here.
1994.
You're right. In case you didn't hear Gary, he said it's Sturgis 1994.
We're just coming in from the north end.
We're going to drive down through Main Street.
I'm going to wave at everybody.
Cool.
Oh, man.
That's Moses on a bike.
Hell, he came down from the mountain on this one.
Straight ahead.
They're not open, though.
They're taking photographs.
Sandy and Mike were here. She said that the storefronts,
the shopkeepers move their stuff out and rent the storefronts to the bikers
so they can change them into tattoo parlors and leather goods and motorcycle parts.
For what it's worth, it's about 50 degrees. I'm not kidding.
It's real quiet here. It's real quiet here.
Get a good night's sleep.
And then it turns to the right and goes up the hill and out again.
Another big rally over here.
Motorcycle expo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're all crazy. They're all crazy.
There you go. Cool.
That dumb compass wasn't there. Of course it helped us, didn't it?
Man, they're selling everything.
I can charge it in the motel, maybe.
Wow, they sell it all at a time.
They're lined up like really cool right here.
We're going around the corner. We won't find a place to park here.
We're too big to sell any of this stuff.
I can see the rear view.
It's been on for a while.
Oh, look.
Look at that.
It's just so incredible.
But you never see more motorcycles in any one place anywhere in the world than here.
Florida, they have rally.
Look at that.
Look at this one. Look at this one right here.
No, no, the road.
Oh, right there.
All right.
Oh, that's okay.
I'll get it when we go by.
We're just 94 August 8 like city.
We'll turn around this other way.
That's probably going to come into the picture.
We're halfway out of town and these people are still coming back in.
Goodbye leather. Goodbye silver route 66 pins.
59 degrees or colder.
I heard somebody say something about 59.
Look at it's just unending stream of motorcycles coming into town.
I was going to get leather French handle grippers for my Schwinn.
Gary thought that was funny.
I got a Schwinn.
Brown.
Straight ahead. Stop.
Right before we crashed into these guys.
I stood out, of course.
I was the hit with my hat with a big yellow sunflower on it.
A demure little hat with a sunflower and I got about 15 compliments.
Everywhere you go, there are motorcycles and motorcycles.
Bikes. Schwinn. More and more and more.
Some of the current fashion.
Out of Rapid City toward Keystone and Crazy Horse.
We got the last room in town for about how much? $75.
We paid 71 three nights in a row in Yellowstone.
68 for a dump in another place.
So it's the most expensive but it's par for the course.
This lady has a shop here I wanted to look for too.
We came to see you.
It's still Monday.
I'm not going to zoom in on it.
Should we zoom in and get a little closer?
Your head's in the way.
There's Nevada and Rushmore is right up here.
I don't know where she went to. There she is.
She's got her hat on.
Not that much.
Turn around. There. I got you.
Finally.
Two years. Wow.
There it is.
I'm going to have to use the zoom. This is the only time we've used them.
How different.
This is a crazy horse outside of Custer.
That's Nevada. That's her gate.
You want that over there?
I see a big piece of machinery with a roof underneath the arm.
His nose is 27 and a half feet long. 4000 people can stand on the arm.
That's a crazy Gary and a crazy horse.
This is the studio of the man who started the sculpture of crazy horse in the Black Hills.
2200 miles.
This is the studio of the man who started the sculpture of crazy horse in the Black Hills.
Deadwood tomorrow.
The city of casinos.
