Follow the Trucksess Family BEYOND the Badlands - Day 3, 4, 5

David, Daniel and Deanna discovered the joy of eating sunflower seeds (with the shell on). At least it made the time pass during the trip.


We passed through some wild looking mountains


Amazing for August weather!


Very different from Iowa!


Time for a family photo and stretching our legs


I think I saw a mountain goat!


Don’t run out of gas in the desert.


Fields and mountains


Welcome to Yellowstone


Old Faithful in action


Watch your step! This water is too hot for a bath.


The kids with Grandbob


Cindy and the kids in Yellowstone


Moving south to the Tetons!


We found a Grizzly eating some kind of large animal. This was definitely a shot with the zoom lens.


Welcome to Jackson Wyoming. Do you get the idea they have lots of elk and deer?


David checking out the great Snake River.


Kurt and Cindy in front of Grand Teton in Wyoming.

My mom still thinks the Jackalope is a real animal!


My father met another woman! Fortunately, she didn’t want to join us for the rest of the trip.


Thankfully she is a DISTANT relative. I hope it goes all the way back to Noah!



David was thrilled with Mt. Rushmore!


Go IOWA!!!!


Mongolian Grill for dinner!


This guy was REALLY hungry. Have you ever seen so much food in a bowl?


The Trucksess ladies were more modest in their portion size.


The grill masters at work. If you haven’t tried Mongolian, we recommend it.

Here is where we ate dinner. This is Murdoc, SD’s version of a top notch restaurant.





Cindy enjoyed her shake. It was made with REAL ice cream.


David stuffed everything in his mouth!

The Ultimate Backyard BBQ

Rather than inviting over a neighbor, they invited over the ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD! What a great time!
