South Dakota to Montana

WHEW, I cannot believe that we traveled 13 hours today... and are still perking along. I think we are kind of like the energizer bunny, we are on a roll :-)

We had a - well, okay night at a small cheap hotel in Deadwood SD. We got a late start Monday morning and doodled our way out of the Black Hills. We took a shorter route down 85 but it was still beautiful!





This is Eagle rock, I believe it is natural. Pretty cool HUH!



As we came out of the hills we looked back on them and down on the salt mines. I don't know where they are but the sign at the lookout said they are down there. 


We spent a few hours going across rolling plateau grass lands of Western SD and eastern WY. Through much of it you see these snow fences a ways off of the highway to keep the snow drifts off of the highways
We spent a lovely evening Tuesday night in Casper WY with my dear freind Crissy, her daughter Hannah and  Husband Paul (not pictured, Chrissy forgot to take the group pic with Paul in it with my camera.
Hannah is taking violin so she showed Brenna a bit how to play it and then had Brenna start teaching her on Brenna's guitar. Talented kid!

After a lovely breakfast we left Casper WY this morning at 8am and drove like crazy bats to Superior WY, ariving her 13 hours later. WHEW! Most of our pictures just do not do the beautiful scenery justice but these were rather nice of the Continental Divide in the Rocky's.



Thank you for all your continued prayers for us. Joe has been doing amazingly well. Until today he has had no problems, even in the heat of the Badlands, and that is just weird. He had issues with his blood sugar today though and had three times when he had to take nitro. He still was able to drive almost half of the day though, which is good or I would have never made it. 

Love

Teri
