RoAd tRiP

Day 1: Ogden, Utah to Rapid City, South Dakota


Miles: 719
Departed: 5:30 a.m.
Arrived: 5:00 p.m.


We left Ogden this morning at 5:30 a.m. with as much of ours things as our car could possibly hold. Our drive was delayed an hour by the weather. The roads through Wyoming were covered with ice, and once we got past the slippery roads the fog settled in so thick we could only see ten feet in front of us. Hercules took the ride very well, slept most of the way. Today was the first time he saw snow. I wish I would have had a video camera because he just rolled around in it. So stinkin cute.
We booked our hotel with hotels.com.... We arent too impressed with them. There was supposedly no pet fee and we were supposed to be within 15 minutes of Mt. Rushmore. When we arrived we were surprised with a pet fee, and come to find out Mt. Rushmore is 38 minutes one way. Kind of ruined our plans of seeing it tonight. Hopefully all works out well tmrw.
