Day 8-Onward to Scottsbluff, NE 386 miles
The day started the same as yesterday ended, we had a beautiful sunrise-
We rode by Devil's Tower Nat. Mon. but the cloud cover and lighting made it unimpressive-
We did manage to find a nice little road to take us into the Black Hills of South Dakota-
While I think Mt. Rushmore itself is cool, any time I have to be in eight lanes of cars, six deep just to pay for parking then it is probably a place I don't want to be-
I guess in this picture Ralf would be Lincoln and I would be Washington-
I liked this view-
We drove the Needles Hwy. but again too many people for me. There was a spot with a tour bus in a tunnel where I almost wanted to jump off a cliff to end the misery. We then spent an enjoyable part of the afternoon at Wind Cave Nat. Park where is was 56F. inside verse 99F. out-
We kept driving late into the evening as the temperature was cooling and it felt nice. Don't know how my phone managed to have such a tight depth of field-
Arrived at a campground after sunset but it was so buggy that we took a motel. Used the GPS to find the Capri Hotel which sounds very 60s and rhythms with crappy so we thought it might be reasonable. All our expectations were met.

God-of-Lite or is that Lights then appeared in the room-
