day one: hummer of a day















we actually stayed on track and made it to south dakota and are staying in chamberlain tonight - apparently a staging zone for Sturgis (which starts next week). Drove 750 miles, crossed the Missouri river 4 times and crossed 4 state lines. Beautiful day with only one "flash flood" like rain storm.







after a great meal at 1/2 pints (thanks, doug!) we packed like crazy and woke up at 6a to squish everything in the car. our cruise director was not so happy with our early departure.












had our first hike...












the drive was long but interesting. we shared the road and our meal at the local (only) tavern with hundreds of bikers on their way to mecca (sturgis).








tomorrow we head west to WALL DRUG and other pieces of Americana.







and the funniest photo of day:

Sounds like fun! (Except the snake part!) Doggies looked like they were packed as tight as the suitcases! Can't wait to keep reading of your adventures, makes STL seem sooo boring. ENJOY! Karin.
