Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Ten Sleep ...

After the badlands we headed north, stopping for a very pleasant breakfast in Rapid City. Our waitress was pathologically nice.

Then onwards towards Mount Rushmore, and the Crazy Horse National Monument. It was raining softly as we headed back out on the road towards Wyoming.

As our little vehicle climbed high into the mountains, the dreary drizzle began to clear, and the air grew colder; more crisp and clear. We found ourselves in a most serene and beautiful place; Ten Sleep Canyon. As we emerged from the canyon, late in the afternoon, we came upon the tiny little town of Ten Sleep, Wyoming, population 287.

By early evening we were rolling into Worland, Wyoming, and figured that we wouldn't reach anyplace more likely to have lodging anytime soon. We stopped at the Motel 8, and Sheryl found out where the cheapest place in town was, and we went there. It was cheap in every sense of the word. The sign sez it all. I think T & C means Town and Country. That's us.
