Long wet drive to Rapid City - MT, WY and SD

Sigh another long wet drive today. This spring has been so wet. By the afternoon with more rain and no end insight we all got a bit grumpy. We did get in some running and playing in the mud and paddles so it wasn't a total loss.

I did try to play tourist and took a detour to Deadwood but didn't have it in me to truly explore in the rain and neither did the dogs.

We made it safe and sound to a very, very comfy hotel room and I enjoyed Mackenzie River Pizza and we all enjoyed turning on the heat and drying off. Tomorrow is our longest drive, all the way to Des Moines Iowa about 9 hours of drive time so probably about 12 hours total for us since we all like to stop and stretch every hour. I am hoping for dry weather by the end of the day.
