Cody, Wy to Custer, SD

  Today we only made it 364 miles, but it was mostly on back roads.  Now, these aren't the type of back roads I am used to in MD.  These are haul ass whilst doing 70-75 mph and watching out for wildlife (or loose cattle) roads.  Climbing Sheridan Pass at 9,000+ ft was a bit slower going though...Now, you do have to slow down when you come in to town.  And yes, Emblem, Wy with its population of 10, is considered a town with a proper dot on the map.  We were able to take in the laser light show at Crazy Horse Memorial, but intend on checking out the visitors center tomorrow am.  Also, on the list is Mt. Rushmore and possibly Custer State Park/ Needles Highway.  (Although I have told Steve that Needles might be a "bucket list" item for when we get our sexy two seater convertible when we are old and gray)
