A Trip in the LeSharo
We took this trip probably some time in 1986 in our LeSharo motorhome (see below). At the time we lived near Chicago, Illinois and this trip traveled to Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming), Devil’s Tower National Monument (Wyoming), Badlands National Park (South Dakota), Mount Rushmore National Memorial (South Dakota), Custer State Park (South Dakota), and Pipestone National Monument (Minnesota).
And on to Badlands National Park in South Dakota.
And on to Mount Rushmore (left below) and at right The Needles in Custer State Park.
Old Stone Face (below left) is in Pipestone National Monument. In the photo, the head is facing right, the nose is just above the line of the hill behind and the chin below that line.
The photographs were obviously on film, which, unfortunately spent way too much time in a hot attic before being scanned. I also took very few photographs, so it is difficult to tell where all we went. And the photographs I did take between not being very good to begin with and degraded by their history, were not very interesting.
The LeSharo was a very small motorhome manufactured between 1983 and 1992 by Winnebago. It had an underpowered diesel engine in a Renault chassis. The roof was so low you could stand up only in the kitchen area for which the floor was depressed. Despite its deficiences, it was a much beloved motorhome and we even saw one relatively recently here in Texas. This was our first motorhome. Before that we traveled in a long van which only had water in bottles, a sink and a chemical toilet. So the LeSharo was close to heaven for traveling in.
