The Adventure Begins: Chapter 1
It was going to be a two day drive from their small town to the gates of Yellowstone National Park. They would stop at the nearest city to pick up supplies for the drive and to plan their itinerary. It seems they would be in the park until the military wanted them back at the Yeager base.
With everything that happened several weeks ago, the Transformers were once again part of the media circus, as were the Yeagers. In order to disguise themselves, Shane grew a beard, Tessa dyed her hair an outrageous orange color, and Cade chose to remain the same. Ironhide learned a new form and could also now transform into a hummer. A large but quite useful vehicle to store the needed items for the vacation. Although Ironhide lothed being a "pack mule." Drift assumed the shape of a Ford Mustang, still happy to keep his speed and good looks.
The drive was boring and uneventful, which to the three was a nice change from the craziness they had all endured. The military was paying for everything and gave the Yeagers a list of places they could stop along the way to do some sightseeing. Two of those being Mount Rushmore, and Devil's Tower. When Ironhide and Drift heard this, they were thrilled as they knew both places the Ancients had come and visited Earth.
"Cade, may we stop at these places? They have a great deal of historical influence on our past.", chimed Ironhide. "I've always heard of these places from Optimus when he would tell us stories of the ancients", added Drift.
"Anyone else want to give us a reason to stop at these places?" questioned Cade as they passed their 20th "Visit Wall Drug Sign." "Yes, dad, let's stop at this Wall Drug we keep hearing about. Seems interesting enough to me," inputted Tessa. "Well now, something my daughter is interested in? Okay I guess we're going to make a few day pit stop so we can enjoy all of these places."
Cade also wanted to make a stop at Sturgis, but he would not admit that to Shane and Tessa, rather would suprise them. It after all was Bike Week, and Cade did have a soft spot for the motorcycles.
Ironhide sensed Cade had something he wasn't sharing with the others, but figured he would let it play out, as anything with Cade was an adventure.
