Made it into Wyoming

Today we crossed South Dakota and did most of the corner of Wyoming. We stopped at the Corn Palace, but didn't go inside. It looked a bit corny, so we took pictures and continued on. A while later we had to stop due to a huge wind storm which almost took our crates off the top of the car. We discovered the crates were caked with bugs! Ugh! A quick purchase of more straps and some adjustment and we were on the way to Wall. There we visited the famous drug store and Mike got to sign the guest book kept only for pharmacists who visit. After Wall we pressed on to the Black Hills and Mt. Rushmore. It was gorgeous! Truly a trip worth making. Later we wound through the mountains and into Wyoming. Saw antelope crossing and as the sun set a thunder storm rolled in. We stopped in Gillette and treated ourselves to our only real meal of the day.. steak at a local place. Tomorrow is a LONG day as we try to make it into Washington State. We don't have any stops planned so may be able to make it. Pictures will be posted later. So far the dogs are hanging in there and have been patient with all the driving. Only Rory complains once in a while. A very long trip for a puppy! Thank goodness for peanut butter.

Aren't the Black Hills amazing? They really do have their own special beauty. Thanks for sharing!
