After packing the house loading the trucks and gassing up the rigs we set off for Minnesota. About 7:00 pm on Monday the first of June we headed for Idaho Falls about four hours away. Everything was good till we hit the worst rain storm I have ever seen in Idaho we rolled in to Idaho Falls at about 1:00 in the morning - very tired!
The next day we headed for Bozeman MT. I lost the guys and ended up taking the other freeway that takes you through west yellow stone. It was beautiful but took a lot longer then I expected. After hitting a herd of Bison, taking a detour to Big Sky and being stooped twice for long construction delays, we pulled in to Bozeman at about 5:00 pm. We had a quick bite with Jason's brother who lives in Bozeman and hit the road to billings. By this time we had about 17 hours in the car for about 12 hours worth of miles. We were all a little cranky.
Ok - we were serious about getting there. But since we have came all tis way lets take the little bit longer way and let the kids see Mnt Rushmore, Right? So we head for Rapid City and up the Mountain, behind two very slow moving trucks, and what? It would have been great to see if it were not completley in the clouds. So back down we go and the freeway is what we hit. That night we made it to Sioux Falls Sd.

Time to pull it in - 6 hours to home. We pulled in to the cities at about 4:00 pm and were ready for a cold beer and a good night sleep.
