2021 Tour -
Richard - 01-09-2021
I post these tour itineraries to help others identify Newell friendly campgrounds and hopefully if you are in the area at the same time you will look us up. Rhonda puts a lot of effort into spacing the campgrounds so that I don’t drive to far every drive day. We are National Park junkies, hikers, and bicyclists. You will find lots of that in the trip. If you are looking for shopping malls, opera, or crowds, you might not want to use the locations.
I do want to point out for those joining us in Spearfish, or just anyone in the South Dakota/Montana area that the Little Bighorn Monument is an absolute must experience location. It will provide a frank history of the American West that we weren’t taught in school. There is fantastic campground nearby that we discovered last year with amazing views of the sunset over the rolling hills. Check out 7th RanchRV in Garryowen MT if this interests you.

Another great job by Rhonda. Cool, it looks like we're in the same parks from 6/24 until 7/7. I'm envious of the premium destination of the McCloud Resort...

Tom Mc Cloud and Darlene are wonderful hosts! Tom has a "state of the art" shop that would be "eye candy" for any Guru!

Wow that looks like a great trip. Lisa and I also prefer bikes and hikes so will try and weave some of this into my 2021. I just need to pickup my Newell! Counting the days......
The anticipation is excruciating.

You never know when you will run into another guru. I stumbled upon @"pestes" in Lakeside Montana. I think black gym shorts, grey tee shirts, and sandals may be the new official guru attire. We even have the same barber.
