Wyoming & South Dakota

We left Yellowstone heading east. We thought a great stop would be Sheridan, WY for 2 nights. It really was a crummy RV park, crammed in like sardines, but it served its purpose. Full service, water, electric, sewer, cable and wi-fi. Nancy wanted to have a great steak dinner for her birthday on Tuesday the 10th. And what better place than the heart of prime beef country. We found the “Wyoming Rib and Chop House”. Have never had a better steak dinner in our lives. It was melt in your mouth good. No photos here just a relaxing day and a half.


Next stop on our agenda was 3 nights in Sturgis, S.D. Yup, the heart of the badlands. We both love the drive thru Spearfish Canyon to Lead, Deadwood and back to Sturgis. 


Spearfish Canyon drive is beautiful

2 big boulders in Spearfish Creek









Gold mining was BIG in Leads

Downtown Deadwood has become
a major tourist tr









On Friday we drove to Wall Drugs, the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse and again back to Sturgis. We also drove through Nemo and a few other towns to small to mention. We did enjoy ourselves and found that we were ready to head out on Saturday the 14th

They sell Everything at Wall Drug.
Saw a mile post (12,000 miles to Wall Drug)
 in Saigon, Viet Nam once!!

Traffic's still busy in Wall, SD









Badlands National Park




Mount Rushmore, SD
Needs no explanation.

























As we left Sturgis we wanted to make tracks. We did stop in Mitchell, SD To see the Corn Palace. Originally we thought we might spend the night here, but we had made really good time and had plenty of daylight left so we kept driving making it to Adrian, MN, a small Minnesota farming community with a nice community park and RV camp. It was a long day, 409 miles.
