Day 2 North Dakota South Dakota Stugis, Butte, Dickinson

 Up at 5:30 am and getting things outback in a suitcase that we took out for the evening and morning.  Marlon and I took the elevator down to check out them on down to the airport lobby.  We found out way too United Airlines to check our bags. The line was not long we walked right up to the kiosk and checked in.  Both bags were under 50lbs so we are good to go.  

A quick check through security as we are TSA approved.  We have 1 1/2 hours before we board so it’s breakfast time.   We had to stand in line to order breakfast but the line went fast. Picked up our food and found a table by ourselves removed masks and enjoyed some hot coffee and breakfast.  

We have boarded a United flight and we had good seats with a seat between us. 

 

 Looks like a new plane I have never seen the holder for the phone on the back of headrests.  This made it easier to watch movies.  

 

I watched a great movie called An American Pickle.    

On the flight, we were served a delicious Dutch waffle filled with caramel, cinnamon, and bourbon vanilla.  You take the waffle and place it on top of your hot coffee.  Within a few minutes the waffle softened and yummy 😋 it’s time to eat.  

We have arrived finally at our destination Rapid City South Dakota.

The first town we came to was the very famous Sturgis.

Left South Dakota and now in Butte North Dakota

I love old barns, so anytime I spot one I try and get a picture. With the speed, we are traveling bear with me on these photos.

Motorcycle metal sculptures 

Abandoned homes on this 400-mile trek to our final destination the evening.

Oh, give me a home where the deer and the antelope play.  These guys were in a field so lucky us to get to see them.

I can see for miles and miles and miles

White Butte North Dakota

We went for 400 miles and there were no houses or gas stations.  The road was straight and long.  There were many abandoned homes along the road.  Don't blame them there is just nothing out there.

Beautiful churches

It's hard to get pictures going 70 mph.  So my pictures are not the best I'm shooting through the window which distorts and the speed doesn't help.  Oh well, you can still get the jest of what the pictures are.

There were lots of field turbines and with all this land and no houses why not?

Staying in the Hampton Inn tonight and this awesome restaurant was across the street.  Loved the decor of the place.

Huckle Berry is famous In North Dakota.  I tried it as a salad dressing and 🥰 loved it.  

Poutine with brown gravy was so 🤤 yummy
