hello elevation

Apparently we killed a lot of bugs with the windshield so we couldn't get a clear picture but this is the welcome to Montana sign. We were so excited to see it (not only because we were moving to Montana but also because the end of driving was near)!

These are some mountains along the drive. We have definitely missed these!

Devils Tower

After Mount Rushmore we headed to Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming. We had to decide between Crazy Horse and Devils Tower and since Mikel had already seen Crazy Horse, we chose Devils Tower...

 It seems so random and out of place but it was massive and beautiful...

Another good stop.

Looks like a storm is coming!

Mount Rushmore

After Wall, SD we continued on to Mount Rushmore. I had never been and was so excited!

So cool!

We are finally getting settled in at our new place and I am currently stealing borrowing internet from some unknown neighbors! Thanks friendly Montana people!

Wall Drug Store

 On Wednesday, we stopped at Wall Drug Store in Wall, SD. It because famous apparently because, when they were having a difficult time getting people to stop, they started offering free ice water to travelers. It has evolved into a huge tourist attraction that has just about every trinket you could think of as well as a bunch of other random stuff.

Like this barrel with a saddle on it..

My buddy...

 These are all the little stores within Wall Drugs...

 A chapel...

 A jackalope...

So random but so fun!
