Are you planning a trip to South Dakota? The rest stop is on a bluff overlooking the river/lake. Lewis & Clark passed there and camped on the other side of the river. There is a Lakota (Sioux) museum in the town that’s worth a visit if you go there....

[quote]Vancouver Island. Huge island that you'll barely scratch the surface on. [/quote]We’re going to VI in July; we’ll be there 3 nights but really just have 1 full day on the island.

[quote]Locoguan I'd contact the park directly and inquire about services for seniors. If one of them has a handicap designation, even better.[/quote]My wife has a handicap placard now but it expires before our trip and she does not expect her Dr. to renew it.
