So last Saturday wife and I headed for the Black Hills. Day one was CLV to Cedar Falls Iowa, 650 miles. Stayed at a nice casino in Cedar Falls, wife likes casinos so I try to plan them along the way if possible. Picked up a passenger at a McDonalds along the way. Day two we did another 650, stopped in Murdo South Dakota for the car museum there. It was closed last time I went through, and glad we stopped. It was epic. 300 cars of all types and boatloads of motorcycles, bikes, toys and all kinds of memorabilia. Well worth the stop and 11 bucks. As we got near Rapid City the horizon was black. One of the worst looking storms I have ever seen. Lots of rotation in the clouds and non-stop massive lightning strikes. I decided I was bailing at the next exit and waiting it out. That was about 5 miles away. So I am hammer down and my amazing weather luck kicked in....it was like Moses parted the clouds. There was one clear sunny part right in front of us, while on both sides the chaos was still going on. We drove right through it with the mess on either side. News said later there was damaging hail, floods and crap on both sides of the highway. View from the hotel afterwards: So day 3 the fun starts. Mt. Rushmore. 16A was newly paved and it was epic. No traffic just hammer down and carve the corners. After that Custer Park and Wildlife Loop Road. Buffalo all over the damn place. Spent the next two nights in Deadwood. Got a great hotel there with indoor parking. Fun town to hang and party in.
