Yesterday – 419 miles!
Today – 543 miles!
We woke up, got breakfast and headed straight to Badlands National Park.
We got to the Visitor Center and collected our National Park stamps and had to take a pass on the Red Ass Rhubarb wine. 
Driving through the Badlands Loop Road was magnificent. Every overlook was more impressive than the previous one. 
We didn’t see a sign welcoming us to South Dakota but got it on the way into Wyoming. 
And because columnar jointing can’t keep us away, we had to visit the Devil’s Tower National Monument. The smoke from western fires may have muted the view (and many of our views along the way) but it didn’t take away from how shocked we were at its presence on the landscape. 
We also made some friends with some Prairie Dogs. 
Presented without comment. 
We finally made it to Montana and understood why they call it Big Sky Country and it gave us a killer sunset. 
And as we were ready to hit the hay, we got to say good night to this sweet fella.
