Mom and dad have been there for a couple of weeks getting settled and we are no bringing Porter and Olive (their children) and a Uhaul of their possession. We decided to take a few extra days so take in some of the sights in South Dakota, Wyoming, and Utah. There is plenty of spectacular scenery. As always, I am posting to <a href=\"https:\/\/grabetravels.blogspot.com\/2024\/07\/skydignity-of-earth-and.html\">my travel blog<\/a> and you are invited to follow this or previous trips. The photos from this excursion should be spectacular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This statue is magnificent. It is called the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dignity_of_Earth_and_Sky\">Dignity of Earth and Sky<\/a> and was a gift to the state of South Dakota on its 125th anniversary. Situated on a bluff with the river in the background it is very impressive. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are on a quick road trip to help move our son&#8217;s family to their new home in Salt Lake City.
