Day 2

Hit an early run in the vid before setting out on the broad west. Took us 14 for the good part of the morning which was a welcome change from the routine of 90. Lots of lakes in eastern sd. Pics below to prove it. lake pontchartrain Doesn't have anything on sd.
Aberdeen was nice, if not isolated. Had a lunch in a city park then hit the true west. Somehow crossing the Missouri always makes you feel like you're getting somewhere. Mobridge, sd wasn't much, and there weren't too many towns there after. Took a pit stop for ice cream and bad lattes in Lemmon. They also have the worlds largest petrified wood park if you were wondering where that one was.

Montana proved the best stretch of the drive in terms of scenery. Rolling hills with pines, very desolate. Turns out, the miles city campground is now a Koa. No thanks, we drove the extra 40 miles and had a great site along the Yellowstone river for 12$ in Forsyth, mt. A solid first full day in the road.
