Yellowstone/Wyoming/Keystone, South Dakota

This was a big drive day for us.  It was about 577 miles.  It took us forever to get to South Dakota because we averaged about 50mph.

Leaving Yellowstone we saw a lot of bison.  Twice we had to stop as they walked down the middle of the road right by our car.  That was pretty cool.

We stopped in Cody, Wyoming for brunch because Noah read a book that takes place there and he wanted to see it.  So we ate at a place called Granny's, which was a lot like Denny's.  After Cody we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere for a very long time.  We were the only ones on a two lane highway with nothing around for miles and miles and miles and no cell service.  Very erie!  There is a whole lot of nothing in Wyoming.

We finally hit I-90 and hit Keystone, South Dakota.  We walked around the town, if you could even call it that, got dinner, and went to bed.

The next morning we headed out to Mt. Rushmore which was cool.  After we walked around for an hour we were pretty much down and we weren't leaving the town until Saturday.  We kept ourselves busy by going on the Alpine slides, seeing lots of bikers, going cave exploring, swimming, getting an oil change, frolicking in a summer monsoon and going to Dairy Queen for the first time.
