Scotts Bluff, Nebraska. I don’t know if this is him(Wrong pronoun?)Deadwood, South DakotaCuster State Park, South Dakota. Bear Claw wanted to go up to and pet the big dogs, Park Ranger had to hold him back.
Big Mule Deer buck, same place as the Bison that BC wanted to pet.
Legion Lake Lodge Campground at Custer State Park.Outside a bar in Sturgis, South Dakota.BC said he should go back Aug 4th…Needles Eye Tunnel, Custer State Park, South Dakota.Crazy Horse Memorial. Crazy Horse, an Oglala Lakota Warrior. When finished it will have him pointing to his Tribal Land. In the Black Hills, Custer County, SD.
In the Crazyhorse Visitor Center.
The above two pictures taken near Legion Lake, Wyoming.Bighorn National Park, Wyoming.In the Little Bighorn Visitor Center. This was on the chronological timeline of the battle of Washita in Western Oklahoma on the Washita River that bastard, Custer, rode in there with his men in 1868 and slaughtered Chief Black Kettles, the whole clan, men, women and children after he had negotiated hunting rights in the area. Not one damn mention here.
Museum of the West, Cody, Wyoming. Bear Claw sez,”May have been Hatchet Jack’s rifle.”
May have been Henry Bowman’s four bore.
Museum of the West. Bear Claw: “Cowboy Hall of Fame had one as well when as a kid. The Cowboy Hall of Fame was my daycare center. My mom was a tour guide. This is the first place I would go every time. I always imagined myself riding into town on Saturday night in the same manner.”Above two pictures, Boondocking in what appears to be Central Wyoming.Charles “Badger” Clark built this cabin lodge, “Badger Hole” Near Legion Lake, Wyoming.North Dakota… to be continued.

What a cool series of pics. Thanks Bear!
The firearms museum in Cody is better than any other firearms museum I’ve been to, including the NRA museum in Virginia.
If you’re ever there, make sure to take the elevator to the basement where the bulk of their collection resides. Well worth the trip.
I also remember going through Deadwood in ’92, and being from the East coast at the time got gobstruck by the slot machines in the McDonalds.
Will Rogers adopted hometown of Claremore Oklahoma has his museum and the J. M. Davis gun museum which has a more and better display of guns I have ever seen, highly recommend both. Davis had a hotel there and often traded room and board for boys coming home from the war. Plus it sits on ole Route 66.
That last pic Cederq left off my one word description “Bully”.
Ps These pics are in order of appearance since I left home and no that’s not me boondockin but the ravines below Scott’s Bluff with the green scrub brush in them are remnants ot the old wagon trail ruts washed out by rains.
Ps those boondockers were 20 miles east of Cody
Thanks for the partial tour, Bear Claw! Been through there, but it was in the dead of winter (Dec 23rd, 1976) and my ’57 Chebbie had no heater blower motor that worked and I had to keep moving on. -20F will do that to ya!
Have to point out, CederQ, that the word is Chronicles, NOT chronicals.
That view of the prairie looks like good prairie dog country. Might want to plant some if they aren’t there yet.
Good shooting fun
Teddy’s park has many and I had the same thoughts.
Bear Claw!, Great pics, video clips!
Had to laugh at the clip with ‘Pain & Movement Solutions’ building sign with all cycles parked outside.
Is that place for the cycle or for the rider? 🙂
Why not BOTH?
Thanks for pics Bear, and the trip down memory lane! Been to some of those places. But that was in my misspent youth. Running around the country, working and partying. Lmao 😁
That’s a good project for Cederq, illustrate each firearm type mentioned in the text of Unintended Consequences. He’s bound to have most of them in his own collection.
Nice! I might have a skewed conception of “boondockin”, since I think the point is to get away from everyone else. If there’s apparent designated areas, it ain’t the boondocks. (Down in the boondocks… down in the boondocks. People put me down…)
Since you asked, the correct pronound there is “he”. Nominative, not objective case. Pronoun usage (totally apart from the current gender nonsense) is probably the most common error in modern US English. Apart from having this stuff drilled into me by both parents and teachers, 4 years of Latin class really drives it home. Linguistic usage is a self-reinforcing thing, since people tend to talk as they hear, and write as they read. That’s a consideration for the “AI” language models currently being deployed – their understanding of English usage is informed by whatever crap they happen to scrape up from sites such as Twitter. Thus endeth the digression. I generally don’t point usage and spelling errors, because nearly all the time, that’ll get you branded as a “Nazi”. But if you really want to know, just ask.
I’m quite envious of these types of travel pictures. I should’ve done it back pre-9/11, when I had the money for going on trips, and we didn’t have the idiocy of the TSA, etc. Post-covid, it’s even worse.
I remember Green Stamps.
Looks like you’re having a great trip there Bear Claw. Safe travels.
Nice to see someone else thinks Custer was a bastard. Shitstain is more apt IMO but whatever works
