Day 3: Sidney, NE to Rapid City, SD

Total Miles Today: 311 miles
Total Miles Trip: 1338 miles

We made it!! We are in South Dakota! The weather here is gorgeous!

We slept in and then hit Walmart and had a quick lunch in the booming metropolis of Sidney. We start to head north and as we are driving, we realize we need proof of our time in Nebraska.

I consult the map and voila! Our prayers are answered! We are going to Carhenge (touted as Nebraska's answer to Stonehenge). We get there and it's hysterical! I have great pictures to share!

A bad storm is blowing through, so we wait it out at Dairy Queen! Then we continue our track north and enter South Dakota. We drive through Keystone, SD. It's the cutest little town at the base of Mt. Rushmore. We drive around a bit and then went to get a hotel room.

After our room, we head back to Keystone and get a great parking spot with a view of Mt. Rushmore so we can watch the fireworks. Well, it clouds over so we aren't able to see the fireworks!!

We head back to the room and crash!

Our next adventure? Wall's Drug Store and the Badlands!
