Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota; 3 states in 1 day, who said America was big..

First stop in the morning was tyres - it's been a pain over the last few months to get hold of any tyres, but now, finally we had some in stock.

After leaving Billings, it was a short hop to Little Big Horn - the site of 'Custer's Last Stand' - classic Cowboys and Indians stuff! Then back to the highway, for a long and dull ride through some fantastic scenery (if that makes sense)

The highlight of the day tho' (as suggested by Larry), was the Needles Highway, enroute to Mount Rushmore - a fantastic rocky, foresty, hilly, bouldery, national park. The road wound around huge rocks and through huge rocks, and over wooden bridges-and-through huge rocks;

The rocks peaked out of the treeline;

Until all of a sudden Mount Rushmore appeared through the forest;
