August 30 - Hill City, SD to Buffalo, WY


Barb - We are keeping with the under-200-miles-a-day rule! We were going to add a few more miles and stay off I-90, but didn't go that route. We arrived in Buffalo mid-afternoon. The campground here has 6-8 deer and wild turkeys that wander on the edge of the campground, providing new animal scents for Ike to uncover on our walk! We may stay another night here and do some backcountry driving in the area. They filmed "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" around areas south of Buffalo (some of you are much younger than this 70s movie starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford!)


Ed - Well the driving was interesting today. On the way past Jewel Cave the road is very narrow and very winding. The best speed I could achieve was 25 mph and white-knuckle it for 30 miles. The rest of the way was 65 or 75 miles per hour. I am very happy the RV handles well and really runs down the interstates at 75 mph without any problem. Of course the 6.5 to 7.5 mpg could be better.
