Last day in South Dakota

I will do some typing tonight. The strength of the wireless is very low here. When I tried pictures, it kept kicking it off the net. I will try later, and if not, I will add more pics tomorrow. Today was a very good day, enjoying it all! Last night we went to the Passion Play which was good, but I told Mel I would like to see the Cherry Glade crew give their play in that setting. Wow! It was late till we got back to the motel, so we did not rush things this morning. We are 2 hrs behind all of you and I think our bodies are still with you. We got up about the same time, ate the Continental breakfast and then headed out. We visited Bear Country USA, Mt Rushmore, hiked the loop trail there, went to Crazy Horse and Devil's Tower and did a little hiking there. I called ahead and made reservation at a Smart Choice Motel (was an Econo Lodge) in Gillette, Wyoming for the night. We were so busy today that we forgot to eat!! ;0) When we got here to the motel, we found a Golden Corral and made fast tracks there. It was very good!! We sure enjoyed the driving again today. the sights we saw were so varied. We drove through Mt Rushmore National Forest--the mountains, pines,water falls, rocks--just so pretty!! Then driving to Wyoming we saw lots of flat plains again, lots and lots of round bales (Darwin we decided you would have many, many loads from 1 round in the field!!) Saw drills and pumps in alot of the fields, and trains loaded with lots of coal. The one engine had almost 1 mile of cars behing it loaded with coal. We passed a very large coal plant. We also noticed that all the ramps to get on and off the roads have cattle guards! We saw mule deer (we think) and lots of tumbleweed. At Devil's Tower, we walked back a trail through a whole field of pairie dogs. It was so interesting. It reminded us of playing that game where you have a hammer and hit the dog's head when it pops up. They sounded like they were talking to each other. ;0) We are so thankful for our GPS again and again. We trust to take some back roads and she will get us back to where we were!!
Tomorrow we will try to get the oil changed. We are 50 miles close to the time to change and Mel found a Penzoil place just down the road from here. We will also need to wash the car-bug splatters are bad. ;)
