Wamsutter, Wyoming and more

Well we're in Rapid City South Dakota, folks. Today was eventful for Ali, she got to see Wyoming for the first time and then we both got to see South Dakota for the first time. There were stateline dances which I'm pretty sure you are very sorry you missed.

Sites Seen:

• Wamsutter, Wyoming, which I may have later recalled incorrectly as being named Wamsuckett
• Pretty much all of Wyoming, actually.
  

• Deadwood, South Dakota (an old gambling town that's been preserved--if you count turning it into a kitschy gambling spot. The original buildings are cool though).

Animal Sightings:

• Bison
• Antelope
• Fox
• extremely patient Prairie Dog (it was sitting up right at the side of the highway, waiting for everyone to pass).
  

Thoughts on Wyoming:

• Wyoming along 1-80 is really not very attractive. But Wyoming up along the 25 and 1-90 are really pretty.
• There are way more Exxons along this route than I'd anticipated, which is fantastic news for me.
• There is nothing in Rawlins, Wyoming, but Casper and Gillette are really pretty decent sized.
  

Tomorrow: Mount Rushmore and then on to Rochester, well Rochester, Minnesota.
