Road construction at Hot Springs, SD forced us to change our route (our combined length was over the 40\u2019 limit), which in turn caused us to drive through Custer State Park. That was the windiest road I\u2019ve ever navigated in the motorhome\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t have a picture of the \u201cWelcome to South Dakota\u201d sign, as the border snuck up on us as the navigator was working on our new route. Please enjoy instead a couple of pictures from the road, and we\u2019ll have Mt Rushmore photos tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"833\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_4454-scaled.jpg?resize=625%2C833&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_4454-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_4454-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_4454-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_4454-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_4454-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_4454-scaled.jpg?resize=624%2C832&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_4454-scaled.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><figcaption>We liked the look of these old buildings, at least we think they are old<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_5576-scaled.jpg?resize=625%2C469&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_5576-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_5576-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_5576-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_5576-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_5576-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_5576-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_5576-scaled.jpg?resize=624%2C468&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_5576-scaled.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1 1250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2luhns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/img_5576-scaled.jpg?w=1875&amp;ssl=1 1875w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><figcaption>Prairie vista, I 25, and a rest area, and some nice Wyoming barbed wire<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have arrived at the far end of our journey, and joined our group in Hermosa, SD.
