tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-136026482011-04-21T14:07:40.329-07:00These photos are of our 2005 Volvo XC70 that we factory ordered in March and received in late May 2005. Our very first trip with it was to South Dakota's Black Hills. We were there from June 5 to 10, and I took these photos at some of the well known tourist spots. Enjoy the photos!!SYS-Volvohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16857937599210582536noreply@blogger.comBlogger81100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13602648.post-1118553146697004282005-06-11T22:12:00.000-07:002005-06-12T09:16:53.066-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/188/4532/1024/Volvo%20at%20KOA.jpg"><img style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 2px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/188/4532/400/Volvo%20at%20KOA.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />In front of our KOA cabin in Mt. Rushmore. We stayed here for a couple nights before trying our tent for the first time in our lives. Little did we know that we were going to be greeted with a tornado watch with enough gusts of wind that would bend the tent frames down to brushing our sleeping bags with wild strokes. My wife and I literally stayed up all night wondering WHEN the tent would disappear into the dark sky while our tired little ones slept right through.... <a href="http://www.hello.com/" target="ext"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbh.gif" alt="Posted by Hello" style="border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;" align="middle" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13602648-111855314669700428?l=sys-2005volvoxc70.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>SYS-Volvohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16857937599210582536noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13602648.post-1118553073299404332005-06-11T22:11:00.001-07:002005-06-12T09:21:19.636-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/188/4532/1024/Volvo%20at%20Presidents%20Park.jpg"><img style="border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); margin: 2px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/img/188/4532/400/Volvo%20at%20Presidents%20Park.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Presidents Park in Lead, South Dakota.
