Time to Build an Ark?

Today's journey was a long one, from Cody to Rapid City SD, a six-hour drive. Well, it rainied when we left Cody and was still raining when we arrived at the Howard Johnson Hotel in Rapid City! However, as we traversed the steep, winding, mountain roads at the beginning of our drive, we were spared rain, it being superseded by dense mist!! An apparently very scenic route of which we saw little!!

We stopped off for coffee a couple of times, to chunk-up the long drive, but avoided Gillette, the scene of a past mishap involving a young girl who drove into our parked car, years earlier! On route we passed many notable sights, Devil's Tower, Deadwood, and Sturgis, which brought back fond memories. However, today, the journey was everything, taking us back eastward, on the final leg of our trip.

Arriving in Rapid City we checked in and soon made our way (on foot!) downtown and located the Firehouse Brewery, where we had dinner.

Another great find, relaxed atmosphere, good dining, and nice company. Waiting for a table, we sat at the bar and got chatting to a couple from Arizona who were Winnebagoing their way round the States! Nice people!!

As for a musical memory, today, it has to be Creedance Clearwater Revival's "Have you ever seen the rain?". We have!
