I had told Wendy of something fun I had seen out west - a pair of horses, standing next to each other, stem-to-stern. They use their tails to keep the flies off each other's heads:
Wyoming has a healthy population of Pronghorn Antelope:
I went up the road to grab the Post office in "Recluse, Wyoming 82725". I sure hope they have more than 7 people:

I continued east, entering South Dakota at 1 PM:
Very Cool Rock Formations, and a lot more trees:
I visited Wind Cave National Park - "National Park" designation is a great way to preserve the natural landscape:
Well, lo-and-behold, I'm back down on Hwy 20 - Thank You God for these "Blue Highways":
I entered the "Central Time Zone" at 6 PM (or was it 5 PM? or 7 PM?):
Shortly thereafter, I rolled-over 10,000 miles for this trip!!!

The setting-sun behind me, lighting the clouds ahead of me:
After 606 miles, I checked into the Super 8 in O'Neill, Nebraska at 8:20 PM (or was it 9:20 PM?) (outside photo from the next morning):
Thank you God for this wonderful WYOMING-SOUTH DAKOTA-NEBRASKA Adventure Day!
