... the Black Hills thru stone tunnels, pigtail bridges, needles highway and ending at the Crazy Horse Monument. This is a work in progress that began in 1948 and hoping for completion around 2048. Crazy huh?<br>We ended our day at Roughlock Falls near Spearfish, SD. On to Yellowstone tomorrow, weather permitting.<br><br>

Toujours en direction de Yellowstone... à travers le Wyoming désormais.<br>Il faut donc quitter les grandes forêts indiennes, mais pour retrouver un autre de leurs lieux sacrés, Devil'sTower. Un monolithe de plus de 380m de haut, qui à la surface d'un terrain de football au sommet! <br>Selon la légende indienne, sept vierges (les pléiades) se seraient réfugiées ...

... have had the gas station all that there was was a sign advertising a Truck Stop that had been demolished years ago. Taking out my trusty GPS I looked up gas stations and found I was exactly half way between the last gas stations and the gas stations ahead of me. Fortunately I had just enough gas to go either way so I went ahead. I got to the gas station with out any problems and also on that turnoff was the motel I planned on staying at - lucky me !! <br>

Starting back.......Traveled thru the Bighorns on our way to Gillette. They were incredible. Had to stop for a herd of cattle that cowboys were rounding up and driving them on horseback to the transport trucks. Just had to stop and wait patiently. They still have to ride and find the cattle the on horseback.......the same way they did it 100 years ago.

... few hours frantically calling our team because the games started 2 hours earlier than we had originally expected. But everyone showed up with plenty of time and our first game turned out to be pretty easy, with everyone staying clean until the pile up celebration afterward. The second game was a bit more intense, but with Marcelo's (Amy's Husband) killer serves, we were able to pull off a win. The Court 2 Grand Championship was against a very young team ...

... And the food service is atrocious. Xanterra, a big corporation, seems to have a lock hold on a lot of the US National Parks concessions and they do a miserable job. We realize that it is hard to work with an inexperienced and highly seasonal staff and you have to truck stuff in, but PLEEZE, it is not all that remote. The big problem is that they try to do the fancy stuff in the lodge restaurants and it is all portion ...
