Day 15: Yellowstone, WY to Rapid City, SD 550 miles

Good Bye Yellowstone!  The ground squirrels woke us up bright and early.  These little buggers were on our porch and nearly under foot all morning.  Jen made breakfast for 13 on the front porch and we were on our way.  Of course, the license plate game is an important aspect of any roadtrip.  We play very competitively!  If someone is not crying, it is not worth it.  We play heading west, then another game in Yellowstone, and then a game heading home.  The inside Yellowstone came down to South Carolina for Molly against Liam.  Needless to say, boys rule, girls drool!
For the drive, we talked with veteran roadtripper: Brian Hirsch when we were in Chicago and we strategized about heading out from the north of Yellowstone through Mountana to South Dakota.  The idea is that you do not have to go through the high climbs of the Rockies.  We opted to do this drive and stop at the Battle of Little Bighorn.  Cool place to visit.
Rapid City is when we are able to meet up with Jim again.  There are not too many people in the world who will fly from Boston to Rapid City, SD just to drive back to Boston!  Jim is that guy! 

He had pizza waiting for us after a long haul drive.
