Rapid City, SD (10 hours - 525 miles)
We got off as scheduled. It was a cool morning at Yellowstone, 34 degrees and a chance of rain. A seven day pass to Yellowstone is $25 dollars, too bad that we are just driving through. Since the water is running high this year, we decided to check out the Upper and Lower Falls. We did get slowed down by some Bison. On the way out the East Entrance, you ride by Yellowstone Lake. It had chunks of ice. Some of the views reminded me of mornings on the Oregon coast.
We geared up to visit Devil's Tower by watching Close Encounters. James as actually there when they filmed the movie. The town looks a little bigger now. If you want to visit the visitors center you need to get there before 7pm. As you drive in you pass through Prairie Dog town. Some will come right up to you looking for food.
We drove right into a rain storm with a tornado watch. It was just raining sheets, it was great!! You would drive in the streets and it would just spray.
HOTEL: Country Inn & Suites (*****)
Review - (2 queen bed suite; mini kitchen, internet, breakfast) HUGE room!! The bed was wonderful after the last one. Top notch breakfast. Off the same road you need for Mount Rushmore.
