I think I'm in for this. Returning next year to the black hills and Wyoming so this would work. Ultimately, heading for 3 or 4 continental divides in Colorado...

The Motel says only one room is reserved, it looks like the rest are campers.

I plan on camping for sure. It is the best city campground I have ever stayed in.
I often have found myself when I was not looking, nor did that discovery take place where I thought it would!

We are going to reserve a room. My Concierge specialist tells me she will do it after the New Year.

He will need to bring at least two liters of Irish for that - One Jameson, one of that "English" Bushmills whiskey you prefer!

I thought "Spousal Unit" had you remove those?
