We woke up this morning and left the room, leaving Dad so he could sleep, and got our hotel breakfast. We were on the road by 9:45. The hope was to get 600 miles in. We traveled 626 miles. We drove until about 12:45 when we stopped at Flying J truck stop in Iowa. We got lunch at Taco John's and Maid-Rite which was a mistake. The food was really gross. There was an ice cream sandwich without ice cream and "burgers" that were just ground beef on a bun with burger toppings. At least the fries were decent. Needless to say we will not be eating at any fast food restaurants we have never heard of again. We kept on driving and entered into South Dakota. We continued driving until we crossed the Missouri River and pulled over to Al's Oasis where we ate dinner. We drove on to Murdo and stopped at Range Country hotel for the night.
I can see that you are taking turns narrating your day's adventure. Is this the same route you took several years ago when you journeyed westward? I'm waiting to hear about the Bad Lands, if they really are bad. Has Nick spotted any buffalo or bear yet?
