Dad finally hit the brakes and we have stopped for a few days. In all fairness to him, there really wasn't much to see but flat landscape, straight roads, corn fields, sugar beet, and soybean fields the last few days. We ended up going 881 miles in the last three days, and Mom and I are happy to stop. Mom went grocery shopping in Rapid City, SD and we drove up the mountain and made camp in Custer's Gulch. It's a nice place with large grassy sites, big pine trees all around, and the weather is GREAT! (The only thing we don't have is TV, but oh well!) We stopped and got all set up and didn't have to turn on the A/C once! Dad even got out the Bar-B-Que and did steaks for dinner tonight - I got the bone - YUMMMMM! Mom even said she would be glad to cook again - they haven't done much cooking when it was so hot and humid - we ate a lot of takeout...
We are going to stay here for a few days and see the sites - Mt. Rushmore, The Black Hills and Badlands of SD, Crazy Horse Memorial, and all that kind of stuff.

| Oh yea, I forgot about the hay fields..... |

| Are we there yet?? |
 |
| We stopped at an official "over look" and this is what we saw - a tree! YIPPEE! |
 |
| LOOK! Is that a mountain I see??? YESSS! It's the Black Hills!! YIPPEE!!!!! |
Mom had to add another map, so we are on #10 now. The maps will only take so much data and then they go berserk. She also got all the stats updated and will update the picture of the map later on tomorrow. Mom also wanted me to tell you, we are in the Mountain time zone now.
I sure hope you all are enjoying this stuff......we're having fun reporting it to you.......
