not that it wasn't absolutely gorgeous, but it prevented us from visiting the badlands and mount rushmore. sooooo sad but there was honestly no way. we tried valiantly, getting off the interstate and making it a little ways through the rushmore town but we were sliding around all over and struggling to get up even the slightestt incline and the actual mountain was 25 miles away... uphill...we just couldn't do it so after apologizing to each other, not that it was our fault that a blizzard just happened to descend upon us, but because we knew how much we both wanted to see rushmore, we turned around and headed back to the interstate.. jared deserves alot of praise and the opportunity to sit as a passenger for the next three days (maybe once we get out of the white out, please) for driving in this mess and navigating through the rare patches of pavement, slush, ice and dusting powder that drifted everywhere on the streets, highways and interstate.
so we're on our way to our next hotel in wy with hopes of coming back to south dakota... one day. still more fantastic sites to see along the route to portland so we're not discouraged and still in good spirits.
