Last day blogging about Day 6, I promise. But we certainly did a lot that day... after Deadwood it was time for a leisurely drive back to the hotel to squeeze in one more visit to the pool before retiring. In some of these pictures (I had to darken them a bit) you can tell just how strong the sun was, though by this time it was late afternoon. P and I drove back to Rapid City through the Black Hills~ a beautiful introduction to mountains before our visit to Devil's Tower the next day.
The town between Deadwood and Rapid City appeared to be Nemo, also the name of the scenic mountain road we were driving on. We got out of the car and walked around Nemo~ a campground, church, and several horse riding ranches lay between the surrounding hills. By then my ears were popping, but I'm not one of those people who that is very painful for, so it was exciting. We saw horses all over the place on the drive home, even some mountain goats! It was here that the rock started becoming wildly colorful, too. I got out of the car several more times to get photos of the area!
This is the story of moving to Portland, OR from the east coast to be in the company of family, friends, and fellow artists. I'm an illustrator, bookseller and printmaker with an Etsy shop in its second year. This place brings together the business of the businesses I love, the rich creative life, and witness to my new nephews as they discover this world.
