Slept in but visited 3 States

You know what they say about good intentions…”the road to somewhere is paved with them”.

Once again the gentleman in this duo forgot to leave the iPhone close where the alarm could be heard. Instead of getting an early start, we slept in until 630 MST. I scrambled out the door to hook up the truck and we got on the road at 730am.

Shortly after leaving Butte (anything but beautiful), we crossed the Continental Divide…I always think of John Wayne and beer when I cross it…if you aren’t a Jimmy Buffett fan, you likely won’t understand this one.

I am amazed at the speed limits in Montana…Doug you’d love driving here! I tried to get up to 80 but the trailer starts to sway.

Before leaving Montana, we made a short stop to visit the location of General Custer’s last stand and the monument at the Battle of Little Big Horn. It is beautiful country and quite amazing to see how all these soldiers died in very close proximity.

Driving through Wyoming was uneventful. So much so I kept asking Connie if we were there yet.

After checking in at the campsite in Rapid City, South Dakota we headed up the highway to visit Mount Rushmore and take a selfie before dark.

I’m thinking if Trump is going to commission his head here, it would need to go behind Lincoln – I can even visualize the hair.

Well enough for today, tomorrow will be the longest day yet. We hope to reach Wisconsin Dells in 11 hours and 30 minutes and we lose an hour.

Ciao for now.
