After our hike, we quickly hit the road for our 7 hour drive to Mt. Rushmore. We hopped on the I-25 North, which bisects the state of Colorado from north to south and runs through Denver and Ft. Collins. We are currently in Wyoming, en route to South Dakota.
At a rest stop in Wheatland, Wyoming, we attempted to purchase another lottery ticket but learned from the store clerk that we were: (1) "No longer in Colorado" (which we were aware of), (2) that we should go to Colorado if we wanted a lottery ticket, and (3) that Wyoming did not have a state lottery. Afterwards, we googled "wyoming state lottery" and discovered that Wyoming was the newest state to join the Powerball group in 2009. Oh well, maybe we'll try somewhere else.
Also during our drive, we decided we wouldn't be able to get to our camp site (near Mt. Rushmore) by the required 8 PM, so we decided to go to Badlands National Park instead, to see The Badlands and camp there instead. The camp site, Badlands Motel & Campground, had an option to rent tee-pees, instead of using a tent, but unfortunately, they were all booked already. Our next update will come when we arrive at The Badlands, cell phone reception permitting.
