Day 23

Rapid City, SD - Chamberlain, SD

Miles Driven: Approx 280 Miles

Rapid City is cool.

 Art Alley.

And then.

 Dinosaurs!

Jason's Photos. Titled "Patriotic Dino"

And Mount Rushmore!
Our parking pass is good until the end of the year!

 Married hand at binoculars.

My new band name.
And yes. I bought a metal map of the US for all our state magnets.

Washington's profile.

 Crazy Horse!

 It took quite a few tries to get it all in the frame.

 What it's going to look like one day.

Cool gate.

 Winery, in South Dakota?

 We tried the wine, and bought some. Olives, too.

Wall Drug was closed. Sad face.
But we could still see their dino from the freeway. Happy face.

Late night gas station milk shake. 

And it was good.

Day 22

Rock Springs, WY - Rapid City, SD

Miles Driven: Approx. 490 Miles

Pumped for a long day of driving.

Weird little hotel room - low ceiling, stuffy and dry. At least the remote is clean.

Mmm, donuts...

 On the road again.

A little treat for the car.

 Married hand washing car.

I thought it was going to be a boring day, but I loved it. Only job is to drive. Let our minds wander, nap. This is why this trip makes sense. 

Day 21

Salt Lake City, UT - Rock Springs, WY
Miles Driven - Approx 187 Miles

The Sinclair across from our hotel has a dinosaur! He's very shiny.
We don't even need gas.

More bookstores.

With special cases.

Crosswalks are very bossy.

What's this? Another bookstore.

 Allez hop!

 Jason's JACKPOT.

Salt Lake City humour.

 And then. Behold.

The George S Eccles Dinosaur Park, in Ogden, UT.

 And it is glorious.

 As is this man.

They evolved with saddles on their backs. True history.

We fed the ducks and one goose. They were not shy.

Lil' head.

Bonus Sinclair dino of the day at the evening fill up. Quite the dino day.
