Yellowstone Day 9

Got up early and broke camp. Left at 7:40 am. Drove out north exit into Montana.

Arrived at Mt. Rushmore at 5:00 pm. Drove by and stopped on road for quick photo. Did not go in park. Motorcyclists everywhere because of rally in Sturgis, SD. (To start Monday, but already crowded.)

A quick stop along the road near Mt. Rushmore.

Decided to get out of Rapid City, SD for supper because so congested. Big mistake. Nothing for hundreds of miles! Nothing! Finally stopped at a gas station for pizza. Saw Badlands from a distance - looked cool. Intended to stop in Mitchell, SD for hotel, but all completely booked with bikers. Tried Sioux Falls area, too, but all full. Kept driving through the night. M took nap at a rest area for an hour and a half. The rest of us slept most of the night.
