    To update the last portion of the trip:
    I crashed out last night just inside the BadLands of SD west of Wall. (Wall Drug :rolleyes:)

    The weather has been pretty much perfect & I stopped in Rapid City for wha turned out to be a lousy breakfast at Perkins...:(

    When I started up and got into Wyoming I saw a bunch of signs for Devils Tower... Since it was so close I HAD to go see it!

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Back in June of 2000 I spent 3 days here and climbed to the plateau on top.:cool:
    867' Vertical . Ascent Took 6hrs. and Descent 2hrs.

    Pulled off of I-90 to get this shot:

    [​IMG]

    See the charred ground to the right of my truck?

    - Everything is BONE DRY... there were many of these small burn areas on the sides of the highway caused by travelers cars or chucking out lit cigarettes I guess. :notsure:

    It's time for a shower...

    Plan to find out where Memario1214 and BrokenTusk are - maybe grab some food... :hungry:

    :D

    Looks like a great trip! Very similar to the road trip I took to move from Goldsboro NC, to Great Falls MT (Air Force). You gotta check out the "Going to the sun road" in Glacier Natl. park.

    Today's update:

    Got Marcel & went to a little place called "cousins cafe" here in Belgrade for a great breakfast then went over to Lisa's to fix Marcel's rattling inter cooler and install some grills...:cool:

    Then Lisa, Colton, Marcel & I all jumped into my truck & took a driving tour of some of the local scenery...

    we then took an hour ride to Big Sky Resort and wento on a zip line tour witch was a GREAT time!

    We ended with dinner at a Tex-Mex restaurant in Bozeman with everyone else...:cool:

    Great day & tons of fun. I'm totally whooped & going to bed now. I'll add some of the pics to this later. - Can't keep my eyes open... :yawn:
