Current Location: Mt. Rushmore KOA, Hill City, South Dakota

We broke with our approximately 200-ish miles per day itinerary today. The Rapid City area was to be tomorrow’s stop. Instead of stopping in eastern South Dakota today, we decided to just keep on trucking across the state and ended up with a 468 mile day. It helped that we gained an hour due to moving into the Mountain Time Zone.

We’ve stopped at this KOA before (back in 2013 when David was traveling with us) as it is just around the corner from Mt. Rushmore. Since we’ve already visited that site, we’re debating on what we’ll visit or do tomorrow (we’re staying here two nights to make up for the skipped stop).
