We drove From Gerling NE to Custer SD taking US 26 West into Wyoming (5thstate), US85 North and then US16 east into the Black hills. It only took us about 4 hours. US85 North was pretty bumpy with frost heaves at the road joints. So things got jostled around pretty good. The truck ran a bit hot like the previous few days of towing, but towed the Wanderer up the mountains just fine. We even passed a semi on one of the climbs. I was impressed but how much power this truck has. The down hill assist was a help as well. We are staying at the Buffalo Ridge Camp Resort ($49 per night) just outside Custer. The sites are pretty close together, gravel roads and sites, and sloping. The back of the Wanderer is only a few inches above the ground by the time we got it level. Getting out of here is going to be interesting. Water pressure is good and the Wi-Fi is strong. We probably would not choose to stay here again but it will be fine for the next couple of weeks. David forgot to strap the refrigerator closed so we opened the door to find beer sloshing around on the floor from a bottle the found its way out. So we spent part of the afternoon cleaning it up. Vowing to always use the departure checklist from this point on! We went into Custer for dinner. A quaint little town that we will explore more in the future. We ate at the Bugling Bull. David had the Walleye and Leslie the Buffalo Short Ribs. Both were really good!! Tomorrow we are taking as a down day to catch up on laundry and David needs to do some work.
