May 25th - South Dakota

This won't be another book. Our cell phone signal is weak and thus our Internet connection is SLOW.

We are spending the night at the South Dakota welcome center on I-90, maybe 30 miles from Sturgis, SD. We travelled 440 miles today. (We are such wimps. Tom, my brother-in-law, used to drive his motorhome from near Tampa Florida to Crossville Tennessee in a day, 650 miles, and he did all the driving. Kathy and split the driving on the longer mileage days.)

It rained, or snowed, on us most of the way. It was snowing and in the mid-30's when we "broke camp" this morning. The wind chill was in the low 20's. The highest temp we encountered today was 46.

This is Montana snow, 1:20 PM, around elev 4,900.

 This is Wyoming snow, 3:45 PM, around elevation 4,900.

 The road runs uphill into a cloud. Foggy.

 Foggier.

 Foggiest. Visibility was maybe 100' at this point.

 Parked for the night at the South Dakota welcome center.

We went uphill and downhill all day. The campground in Livingston, MT was at elevation 4,500. We went down to below 2,800 while in Montana and then started back up again. We were up to 4,500 many times, and 4,900 maybe three times. I don't think we ever got below 3,000' again.

Good night to all and may God bless you and yours.
