Day 2

We continued through South Dakota where we entered rolling hills and sign after sign for the corn palace and wall drug stores. The morale was low as we were getting pretty tired of this state, until we came up on the Badlands. We were planning on going to Mt. Rushmore, but when we asked a guy at the gas station he said the Badlands would be worth much more of our time. After venturing through we definitely agreed with him. Right off the highway, it is a must see.

After the Badlands we finally entered another state, Wyoming, where we drove along the edge of the beautiful rocky mountains.

We ended up in Billings, Montana. We thought we could quickly get into a hotel room right off the highway. To our surprise it was full, and then the next hotel we checked was full, and we ended up scrambling around town to get an open room. We happened to stop in this city when a huge fair was in town. Luckily we were able to get the last room a little farther out of town.
