Third day into our road trip, we drove from Billings Montana to Murdo South Dakota, so we passed through Montana, Wyoming and now South Dakota. I really liked Montana, I love the mountains and I wish I could climb and hike on all of them, I definitely want to come back. As I love the Rockies back in Canada, I was silently impressed and my heart was all happy to have the opportunity to cross (even in the car) the Rockies in Montana.
Wyoming is such a nice state (the scenery is amazing, but I am not going to brag to much about it, one has to see it to understand).
As we were driving for hours and hours I decided that one of my future long trips (when I will be old and don't want to leave North American Continent) it will be driving, biking and hiking every mountain in the USA, well yes I do know that will take time :) but who cares when I will be really old and no working I will have plenty of time....
We were on the road a lot, we took turns driving and snacking on Lesley Stowe's crisps from back home loved Vancouver! with goat cheese and dark chocolate M&M as dessert. There were very few cars on the road so we were driving 85-90 miles per hour.
The highlight of our trip was the side trip to Mount Rushmore. The first part up there is very touristy, and even the area around the mountains, but still very worth to visit. I didn't know anything about this mountain (Mark was as usually very surprised that I don't know!) so I was so happy that he decided to make a stop there. I really wanted to go up the mountains to stare in the presidents face but this trip regretfully is not about hiking, so I definitely have to be back to do it my way! By the way my body is soo store and stiff for being in the car for so long. I can't wait to get to Mark's parents and be able to run and exercise!
