Road Trip - Day 3

From: Gardiner, MT
To: Keystone, SD

Time: 7.5 hours
Distance: 541 miles


We didn't even bother charging our cell phones today. Out in the middle of nowhere in Montana and Wyoming there is no cell service - at least not with Sprint - and definitely no internet services. The scenery was beautiful, though, so that compensated for our seclusion.

On our drive through the middle of nowhere we finished every available audiobook, and had to resort to listening to the static of the radio as it searched for nonexistent radio stations. Chamomile had to resort to hiding under my feet while we were driving and next to the gas pedal when we would exit the car to fill-up.

We arrived in Keystone - a tiny tourist town in the middle of gorgeous East South Dakota scenery - early enough to venture out to the Crazy Horse (it was closed!) and Mount Rushmore sites where we did more hiking and driving on the scenic route.

Chamomile kept herself entertained by grabbing toys out of her toybox and bringing them to Nick to play fetch as we fell asleep. She's nocturnal. ;)
