How I Spent My Summer Vacation: Rapid City, Just Like Cary Grant

I got in at 1am after 15 hours of driving on windy Pine Ridge Reservation Roads, and ended up at the famous hotel Alex Johnson (like Hitch did). Can you IMAGINE my horror as I dragged a suitcase a couple of blocks from my trailer to find a life size statue of Nixon sitting malevelontly on the sidewalk in the dark on a Chinese Dragon chair? I was affraid I had died in an accident and Dick was my "Hitchhiker!"

Never Arrive at a Massacre site 80 miles from a motel, just as the sun sets. CREEPY.

Thanks to Little Moon, who showed me the mass grave in the dark, I wouldn't have found it without you, and wouldn't have gone in if I was alone.

I THOUGHT I was excited to see a Movie Studio when I first got to Hollywood,

It made up for seeing the Empty Fort Knox.

After visiting Ukulele Ike at Valhalla, I picked up my Traveling Garden Gnome, Lance, at the Burbank Airport. Since you can't drive to Tennesse on an empty stomach, we stopped at Bob's before we left.

Guess which one is my Traveling Gnome.
