Day 71

This morning started out with road closures due to weather, but we found an alternate route, and headed towards South Dakota! The drive through Nebraska was GORGEOUS! We even drove through the world's largest hand planted forest, The Nebraska National Forest with over 90,000 acres of beautiful greenery. It was pretty epic. 

We checked into our hotel, and drove to Mt Rushmore! It was FREEZING, but we got to the monument just in time for sunset and it was beautiful. 

After the monument, we got some huckleberry gummy bears and ghost pepper cheese curds at the gift shop, then we went to an awesome little saloon (the only one open due to the season!) called the Silver Dollar Saloon for some great food served by an awesome new friend named John. It was the perfect end to a long but awesome day. We're happy to be in South Dakota!
