I have to tell you I really had no idea that South Dakota
was such a beautiful state with so much to do.
We could have easily stayed in the Black Hills area for a week and not
run out of things to do. As we headed
towards Wyoming J. decided we should swing by Sturgis. There was really not a lot to see there
except for gigantic biker bars. I mean
we are talking block long bars with inside and outside seating and show stages. This place must be ridiculous during biker
week. After we drove through Sturgis we
decided to visit Deadwood. I would not
go back. Basically it is a gambling town
with casinos everywhere. They have
repaired buildings and made it look nice but it’s not for me.
Finally we made it to Wyoming! There were three highlights for me prior to
reaching Yellowstone.
1.
The welcome center. It was adorable and offered cute picture ops.
2.
A restaurant called the Village Inn in
Gillette. I had the BEST PIE
ever!!! It was a chocolate silk pecan or
something like that. DELICIOUS people
and I am not a pie person at all.
3.
Cody, Wyoming- well actually right outside of
town on the other side of a mountain is the Buffalo Bill Reservoir. I would move their tomorrow.
We made it to Yellowstone at dusk which proved to be a great
time because the animals were out in full force.
We saw a huge Bison at the mud geyser- holey stink batman it
smells like rotten eggs!
We saw an elk in the water.
We passed a moose on the side of the road.
I came into this trip hoping we would see wildlife but not
really expecting to, so this was a welcomed surprise.
Our “Cabin” is small but clean and meets our needs. I really like the location as well. As you can tell by the delay in this post there is obviously no wi-fi for us in Yellowstone.
