We left Hardin, MT this morning without a single tear and headed eastward. We’d already been to the farthermost Western point of our trip in Yellowstone National Park and were now embarking on new territory in South Dakota. There is a band of attractions along I-90 that runs from west to east across the state. We hope to hit them all, since we’ve never been this way before.
Along the way we found ourselves sidetracking to Sundance, WY and Sturgis, SD. I thought the former was the site of Robert Redford’s Sundance Film Festival and the latter was a great homage to Harley Davidson’s motorcycles. The truth is that Redford’s Sundance is in Utah; and the Harley Davidson museum is not very interesting unless you’re a biker. Earl and I have never been one. We dispatched these two attractions in record time, even though the clerk at the HD museum said it would be the best four dollars we ever spent.
Then it was on to Custer, SD where we are staying three nights. By this time it was a long way from breakfast, so we had dinner before checking into our cabin. Earl is now watching Night Two of the RNC, while I’m in the other room working and writing.
Tomorrow it’s on to the various attractions in the area, and I hope we won’t be as disappointed as we were with Sundance and Sturgis.
