Neon Museum in Vegas

December 5, 2019

Friday November 29, 2019 I went with friends to the Neon Museum in Las Vegas to check out the Tim Burton art installation in the Boneyard (the outside venue with all of the signs). Honestly, I was a little underwhelmed. I don’t know why I thought it would be larger or more. Maybe I psych … More Neon Museum in Vegas

Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump

August 8, 2016

The goal was to get to Helena at a reasonable time. There were a couple of problems with this plan. First I had to 600+ miles to cover in a single day.
