oversized hills with hundreds of sharp inclines, twisting corners, and
few guard rails. Staying awake was no problem with all the near hits.
After Grassrange, there was still the odd deer but nothing like before. I
was so happy to see the end of that stretch of road and Nadine was
even happier that I did not wreck her car.
3: 00 pm. We are now 864 km into our trip. It has been a long
night but we are now at Billings, Montana. I don't take a chance, and fill
up with $ 5: 50 worth of gas. I also get a much- needed cappuccino.
Nadine is still sleeping like a baby. At 872 km into our trip, we head
east on Interstate 90 for 1138 km. This road is not much better than the
one we just got off. It is getting lighter out, now, and no deer. At 1037
km into our trip, we enter Wyoming; speed limit 75 mph. Road
construction is a real problem, with lanes closed down to one lane in
many places and even somewhere we must stop until oncoming traffic
has cleared.
5: 20 am. We are 1070 km into our trip. It is full daylight now
but, if this is what Wyoming looks like, I would not miss anything if it
were dark. The farms have been very few and far between and have
only two or three head of cows and the odd horse. The rolling hills grow
tumbleweeds, but little else. I stop at the truck stop at Sheridan, WY for
$ 7: 00 gas. We don't really get to see much of the city as the road
passes it by. Nadine has woken up rested and ready to change drivers.
Pure daylight now. It looks like we are in for a hot, sunny day. Nadine's
car has air conditioning so I am not too worried about the change in
weather. I was having trouble sleeping. Every time I dozed off, Nadine
had to either slow down for construction or come to a complete stop.
Also, there was more to see, now, and I hate to miss anything, so I was
forever checking our route program to see what great happening in
American history occurred here and there. We were 1373 km, into our
trip when Gillette, Wyoming came into view. Nadine was still fighting
the road construction. I was still having trouble trying to get some rest.
Nadine was managing to make good time, for a change when we hit
1373 km into our trip. That was when we entered South Dakota. She
was quite good about keeping the speed limit of 75 mph. She just sets
the cruise control and drives on. We were both thinking we had seen
the last of the construction when there came some more into view. It
didn't put us in a very good mood with both of us starting to feel the
pressure of this trip.
Shortly after the last of the construction, we were 1386 km into
our trip, when along came Spearfish, SD. This place had a bit of our
history attached to it and I would have dearly loved to stop and see the
