Sunday August 23
















Drove east out of Cody, Wyoming up over a 9000 ft pass in the Bighorn National Forest. My goal was to eat another one of those delicious steaks at the Alpine Inn in the Black hills of South Dakota. After a 7 hour drive I arrived to find that they were closed on Sundays.....I should have called first. It only took me a little out of the way and I ended up at the County Fair in Rapid City, SD. It was an ok diversion from driving.....but that’s about it....It was pretty lame. Rapid City is a little rough around the edges and the townies were out in full force.

I still had steak on the brain and I hadn’t hit a Golden Corral on my trip yet.... needless to say, the steak was extra good at the Corral.....along with the rest of the buffet.

I continued east and ended up stopping back at Wall Drug for the night as the wind and lightening increased. I stopped at Wall because I didn’t want to be exposed sleeping at one of the truck stops on the wide open grasslands of SD. Before I stopped I was making crazy gas mileage as the wind was pushing the broad back of the camper right along down the highway.
