11:20 Bighorn Battlefield - 229 miles
12:00 p.m. - Entering Wyoming, Lori is smashed into the back of the cab, Jeri and Lori are practicing Spanish, Lori has to know this for her new job. Nothing like waiting until the last minute to catch up on the Spanish. Jacqueline is sleeping and we are finally in the sunshine in Sheridan, Wyoming.
1:18 - Detour into Buffalo, Wyoming. Buffalo is a lovely little town. We found are way back to I-90
3:45 - Arrive in South Dakota, 530 miles from Helena. Most exciting, we are almost to Deadwood.
4:11 - Sturgis, 578 miles from Helena. Not the prettiest place in the US.
4:57 - We finally are being tourists and heading to Mount Rushmore. It was starting to get dark, so we had to hurry before we couldn't see the presidents. I was impressed, I have been wanting to see Mount Rushmore since I was 8 years old. A bit too touristy leading up to the mountain, seems like everyone in South Dakota is trying to make money off of the attraction. Snake pit, bear world, Christmas land... etc. and everything was closed down!
12:00 mtn time... arrive at Oacoma, SD after driving for 3 hours in blowing foggy snow stuff. We are exhausted.

Sun is breaking through the clouds in Helena calling us to abandon chores and go to the ski hill. We mucked out the basement yesterday in preparation for the Roto-Rooter man tomorrow. The basement cleanup was a disgusting job, but I'm relieved to be done with that portion of the home improvement for now. Things had been in total disarray since the insulator was here in November. I finally have the Christmas supplies back in storage. I'm glad you saw Rushmore; I've always wanted to see it too. The climates you enter will hopefully begin to change from snow to rain and potholes. Good thing you've still got a couple days to cram your Spanish lessons. Looking forward to more updates from the road. Let's see more pictures!
