We went back out from Rapid City to see Mt. Rushmore. Then,
leaving South Dakota behind for good, headed West into Wyoming to Devils
Tower NM. From there, on to dinner at Hardee's in Gillette, WY and
over the mountains on US-16 to the Comfort inn in Worland, WY.

We got up too late to go to Wall Drug, so we went to Wal-Mart instead. |
