Meo,, did you stop to see Mount Rushmore with the faces of 4 presidents on the granite rock face, in the Black Hills, of South Dakota? Enjoy the beautiful scenery.
FYI, there are badlands in both North Dakota & South Dakota. The Black Hills are not part of the badlands. The Black Hills are a wooded, mountainous area.
Windy but traveling anyway. There is a wind advisory and I am at a rest area about 46 miles from Bismark. The wind wasn't too bad but now it's terrible. Not sure if I should go on or just stop. It's so early yet, this is only the second rest area I've seen since I left Medora and I doubt if there's another before Bismark.
Spring can really bring some strange weather cycles. From hot to cold, seemingly overnight, lots of rain, cooler temps than expected, and yes, wind. It seems moving on, even if just an hour or 2 further along the route, works out pretty well, unless one is heading straight into a snowstorm or other severe weather.
Getting back to "home base" is comforting, after a long journey.
So it looks like you are getting pretty close to your summer home. Are you going to call it a day and cruise on in tomorrow?
Yes, it's too windy and Crackel Barrel is letting me stay.
The coolest thing is happening in the shopping plaza, there's a marching band all decked out. Don't know if what they are doing but they sound great.
