Driving to Mount Rushmore... And More Driving

We woke up today in beautiful Montana and after a breakfast of diced potatoes and bananas, we started our longest drive of our trip. 


Of course, Montana had gorgeous scenery on our way out. We then headed into Wyoming and would ultimately end up driving through South Dakota. We made the most of our drive by eating delicious cheddar and sour cream potato chips and Michael studied pilot stuff while I drove!



After 7.5 hours of driving, we made it to Mount Rushmore at 4:30 pm! Mount Rushmore was cool, it was very large and it was interesting seeing the monument in person as opposed to pictures, in movies, etc.


But in all honesty, the best part of our day was cookies & cream ice cream after we viewed Mount Rushmore! 


We found a place to grill dinner and are now still driving (it's 9:45 pm) to Byre Lake to set up our tent and fall asleep. 


Tomorrow we will be in Oshkosh! We're waking up at 5 am tomorrow to make it to AirVenture before the first air show at 2:30!

When we reach Byre Lake, we will be at 1,952 miles and about 38.5 mpg.
