In 1975 DH & were newly married (1.5 yrs)& we decided to go to Yellowstone in late Sept. We had a pickup with an aluminum camper shell on it. We packed up, got some maps and went! What a fun time. One of my most memorable moment was pulling into a campground and a man asking us, "What are you kids from Texas doing here this time of year?". Come to find out he & his wife were from Dallas, not far from where we lived. They showed us how to make biscuits on a stick over the campfire. Fill with butter & jelly after cooking! Delicious..but I've never made them since...Didn't even make them with my kids...Shame on me...Must do it with DDG soon! We visited with them in their home and they showed us slides of previous trips to Alaska.
Also while in Yellowstone we took a slow/quite float trip on the Snake River. It was the most gorgeous fall day, perfect temperature and perfect blue sky. I think I fell asleep for awhile!
The other thing that I was so impressed with was Mt. Rushmore the first time I was it. The only image I'd ever seen of it was in books at school which was pictures about 2 x 3". I was just overwhelmed with the size of it and the work involved. A must see in my book.
Not to mention the many waterfalls we've seen. They are one of my favorite things!
During the Christmas/New Year holiday 2013 we took a trip to Natchez, MS which we both thoroughly enjoyed. We had seen a restaurant on Sat eve that was busy so we thought we'd check it out on Sun after church but it was closed. Another local car tried the same thing. He ask what we were looking for and he mentioned "Jugheads" in Natchez, so we decided to try it. Looking at it from the outside we never would have tried it or maybe not even noticed it, but were we glad we did!! Delicious fried catfish & shrimp with fries & slaw for me and DH had grilled, Cajun catfish (5 pieces!) roasted/steamed red potatoes, green beans and a roll. Fabulous local food!!
