Saturday, July 19th





Several wanted to see Mt Rushmore, so we went through Spearfish Canyon, Lead, then drove by Mt Rushmore, some of the Black Hills, Keystone mountain with twisy, winding roads and then through Custer State Park on our way out of South Dakota.' We took some beautiful pictures of the country side. We saw deer, anelope and a large herd of Bison.


Connie's camera battery died just as we saw the bison herd, but will check with others to see if they got the picture of them.
We went through NW Nebraska. They kind of have their own BadLands in the area of the sand dunes. Again, gas stations are few and far between. We stopped at a gas station where some other GWTA members were having tire problems and had to wait until Monday for the nearest Honda dealer to open and get it replaced. Judy and Holly were needing to get on towards home so rode with us as far as North Platte. We went from Mountain time to Central time after Ogalala and arrived late at North Platte. Several of the hotels were full and we were able to find rooms (the last ones) for everyone at the Comfort Inn at North Platte.
