Good grief.
I had, until yesterday, never ever seen a tumbleweed. Wow. They really are everywhere along the rural plains.
Today was Mount Rushmore. Pretty spectacular set up, nicely laid out, neat monument exhibition, fun flag displays, and a decent gift shop. It is too bad that we couldn't witness the lighting ceremony at night, but we had to get on the road and get to our destination.
Very very very windy all day. Along one of the rural state routes there was dust and debris flying everywhere. Nasty stuff. 65 and 75 mph speed limits though. Still, it was a good feeling to be back on 4 lane inter-states again.
The hotel room in Cheyenne is impressively nice, new, clean. It puts every other place I have stayed to shame. I think it was too much of a build up, because the rest of this town....... eh.
Major winds kicked up last night 40 mph sustained winds with 60 mph gusts. Aweful stuff. Then came the rains. Ick.
This morning we are off to Boise, hoping to be in at a decent hour tonight. Friday is Portland. We are nearing the finishing line.
More tonight or tomorrow morning.

Did you know Smussyolay has a phobia about tumbleweeds?
Are they creepy or something?
They are a bit creepy, but the worst thing is that they come across the roads randomly, and they don't have any set pattern as they scurry across the road, and you don't want to hit them, since they can get tangled into your undercarriage, or pop your tires, or all kinds of things.
Eerie I think is a good word for them.
