We flew from Pittsburgh to Denver, and then drove up I-25 through
Wyoming and over into South Dakota on US-18, US-85, and US-16. We
stopped at Jewel Cave NP and the Crazy Horse monument.
We bought a $5 snack box on the plane, and after that we didn't eat
again until we had a "bad experience" at the Wendy's in Rapid City (ask
Erin) around 11:30 PM (MDT). Thanks to Jordan for taking us to the
airport, and the Quality Inn in Rapid City, SD for putting us up for the
night.
