Left Wecome Minnesota at 8:30 a.m. and arrived at the campground in Interior South Dakota at 4:30 p.m. Campground sits on the edge of Badlands National Park. Very scenic here.
Battled a 25 mph head wind for over 200 miles getting here, It did wonders for my gas mileage.
Went from 7 mpg to 5. But on the bright side, gas is $3.15 a gallon here.
We had to go 26 miles (but not accross the sea) to get groceries this evening. That was the closest grocery store, and it wasn't too big.
Tomorrow we will tour the park, and spend some time at Wall Drug. Like most places we've been there is more to do here than our time allows. We are considering spending an extra day here, and shortening up a stay in Montana, or getting home on Friday rather than Thursday.
Right now the only snag in the forcasted weather is the Montana stretch. The forcast is calling for the possibility of snow flurries on Friday and Saturday, with daytime highs in the upper 30'2, and nighttime lows in the mid 20's, We will be keeping a close eye on the weather.
Will post some pictures later. Ernie

Ernie, I had to read the above quote twice and stare at it a few minutes before the old light bulb finally came on. Pretty funny!!!
The weather here is so pretty its hard for me to imagine snow this early. I don't think I'd like living that far north....I'm a weenie when it comes to cold weather. Give me sun and surf any day of course living in Oklahoma we don't get much of that either.
Thats what cruises are for...Yea!!
You guys be careful...Diane
