Time Zone tonight: Mountain Time
States traveled: South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana
The only tourist stops: a scenic overlook at the east end of the Badlands, and Wall Drug, in Wall, SD.
We had a mid morning snack of a dish of ice cream while at Wall Drug. If you travel west you can't miss the Stop at Wall Drug signs along the highways.
Roads have been great. I-90 continued to be very smooth. We turned north on Highway 34 at the western boundry of SD, continuing west on Hwy 212 through Wyoming and into Montana.
We didn't stop at the Badlands or Mt. Rushmore. All of us have seen these attractions. Our goal for the next two days are miles, miles, miles behind us. We need to get to the Canadian border by Monday.
Highway 212 is a state road, two lane, with wide open fields/pastures on both sides. We saw several pronghorn. Gary and Evelyn saw a momma with a newborn calf.
Hwy 212 leads to the site of The Battle of Little Bighorn. It isn't called "Custer's Last Stand" anymore. We have also visited this site. We highly recommend stopping here. Be sure to take the ranger-led tour.
The 7th Ranch RV Camp is just west of the Battle of Little Bighorn. It is a working ranch. We stayed here four years ago. It would be nice to have a few days here and enjoy some walking and birding.
Verizon Wireless is going and coming, mostly going. Pictures later.
