I stopped at the Black Hills and drove the 27 mi loop through the park. It was wonderful, but way too hot to get out and take any of the trails offered. The loop was awesome, even if I felt lazy driving, hell I have food poisoning remember?!! I'm weak.
After the Hills (Hehe Jill I said 'The Hills', Haha this is soooo not like that!) I made my way to the metropolis of Rapid City. Mount Rushmore was 26 mi away so I figured this was a good place to crash before I ventured there the next morning. I planned to camp, I called a few places and almost committed, but when I did the drive by i panicked there was water and electric for tent sites, but no camp fires allowed. What is that about? No fires?! No camping. So I found the Big Sky Lodge, up on the top of the town with a beautiful view. I of course got a reduced price, by explaining that the original was just too expensive. Hehe go me:) Still not that interested in food, I stayed in and slept a lot.
The next morning I found a car wash first thing, 8 am baby! and gave Fit-Fit a bath. I decided to do it by hand so I could personally scrub off the bug guts and bird poop I had accumulated through 3 states. It was really satisfying. Then with a squeaky clean bright red car, so as to not stand out too much-if my NH plates weren't enough-, I was off to Mount Rushmore!
