Wow! South Dakota has crappy cell service, especially in the Black Hills. After we got into Wyoming we encountered a horrible hail storm. The temperature dropped almost 15 degrees in just 5 minutes! After that we had rain all the way into South Dakota. Our dinner consisted of food from the only convenience store open in the entire town of Custer. On Wednesday we woke up to a world of fog. It was horrible. We got to see some of the "needles" on The Needles Road and went to Mt. Rushmore only to see the exhibit and to look off the Grand View Terrace at a wall of fog. Good thing our pass was good for the rest of the year. We continued on to Deadwood. By the time we got there, the sun started coming out! We ate dinner on Main Street at Saloon #10, where Wild Bill Hickock was murdered. It was delicious! I had some Kobe beef! As we traveled back to our hotel, we found out that our hotel was in the section of Main Street that was famous for brothel houses back in the day. Fun, fun! Today was way more successful! The sun was out and it was beautiful! We were able to see Mt. Rushmore, some prairie dogs, and buffalos. Now we are at Ellsworth AFB for the night!
