So, I could not post yesterday, so am combining the last two nights.  We left Fort Robinson and headed to Devil's Tower. What a great wonder.  They say it is a spiritual place, and I believe it is possible. 
We left there, and travelled all across Wyoming to Dubois for the night.  This  is more of a scenic drive, but the wind tried to blow us off the road in several places.  Thank goodness we have an anti-sway bar on the trailer or we would have found ourselves in the ditch.  There was a deer with a death wish, but we were able to avoid it. 
We stayed at the Koa in Dubois, we were lucky to get a spot, but it was muddy, and there had been horses kept there.  Once we got settled, we found the bridge over Wind River was right behind us.  A little more noise than we were hoping for.
The drive home today was the same wind...but we took the Scenic Byway from Jackson Wyoming to MT Home, ID.  We had a few crazy drivers, but made it home safe and sound.  We are now looking towards the next adventure.

Today was a rather uneventful day. We went to Chadron for supplies, took the driving tour at Fort Robinson, and then got ready for the trip home.  Last night we had a huge thunder, lightning, rain, and hail storm, today the rain did not start, but the lightning was beautiful.  Time to call it a night...6:00 comes early.

Fort Robinson is our base this week, we spent the day exploring all of the museums, and the grounds within walking distance.  What a unique place.  It has been here since the 1700's as an Outpost, Crazy Horse was actually killed here.  The history is so diversified, I was fascinated by it all.  There is an exhibit of mammoths that had locked horns in battle and could not get apart, which are preserved here.  There is a reminder of the German POW camp,  A must see.

Today we went to Mt Rushmore, the full walk around the sculptures.  It was so incredible, well worth the trip.  We took an alternatrwy back, and got to see Crazy Horse. What a great day...one of the best days.

Sometimes you just have to check out the strange and unusual!  We went to Carhenge just outside of Alliance, NE. What a treat! The store owner was really fun to visit with, and the exhibit is really unique. There are even car capsules to be opened in the future, as well as a dinosaur, and a freaky fish.  This carhenge is modeled after the original Stonehenge, and can accurately show the seasonal soltice, but is made up of old cars.  It was about an hour drive from our spot in Fort Robinson.  What a fun day!

Today we had problems with the rig.  Our awning detached on one side, and we had issues with the sewer hose springing a leak! Good thing it was on the grey water instead of the black.  Husband was able to fix the awning, and we were able to buy a new hose.  One of the folding chairs bit the dust...ended up getting new one.  Between the water pump issue and these issues, we are a little frustrated,however, the site we are in here is amazing.  There is an open meadow behind us and are enjoying wildlife and birds of all kinds. The small town of Chadack is not too far, has a Walmart that we were able to get what we needed.  All in all, ended up a great day, had a wonderful meal, good company,.

We are in Rawlings, Wyoming on our way to Fort Robinson, Nebraska.  So far the drive has been uneventful.  We have seen a few wild horses, and antelope.  The scenery is different across Wyoming, more flat, the rock is like sandstone.  Staying at Wilderness Camp in Rawlings, it's clean, well kept, has a miniature golf course and restaurant near by.  Not bad.
