Yellowstone National Park - Sioux City, Iowa.

Well safe to say we've done a lot of driving since the last blog!! We got up early on sunday and drove from Pocatello up to Yellowstone, briefly entering Montana & then into Wyoming, which took us up to 24 states visited!! Yellowstone was absolutely awesome - without doubt the most beautiful place I have ever been in my life!! Shame I couldn't be arsed to upload any pictures really!! Ha, anyway we did everything we wanted to do, namely checking out 'Old Faithful' - the famous geyser and getting close to some Bison!! At one point we had to stop on the road to let a Bison cross literally right in front of us...awesome creatures!!

We left Yellowstone about 4pm and then headed East once again, driving quite a way through Wyoming & eventually crashing at a place called Gillette - there was some awesome driving to be had after leaving Yellowstone though, with one part having non-stop hairpins for about half an hour!! Monday arrived with yet another early morning, this time as we continued East to Mount Rushmore, South Dakota. It was pretty cool I guess, although a little smaller than you'd expect & safe to say neither of us were blown away!! Anyhow after that we decided we had to try chalk up as many states as possible, so we went South before going East, just so that we could tick off Nebraska!!

There was very little in Nebraska as you'd expect, although we did manage to stumble upon another town called Valentine!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely awesome place which I couldn't recommend enough!! We didn't get to our hotel here in Sioux City, Iowa until about 11pm last night, although that was mainly due to losing an hour as we crossed back into the Central time zone, an unexpected road closure & an unbelieveable storm - rain, lightening & thunder, which was still going great guns when we went to sleep!!

Anyway that means we're up to 27 states now, and have also driven OVER 9000 miles!!!!!!! Pretty crazy really, although we only have a week left on the road now - which today will involve driving up to Minneapolis in Minnesota, before heading East to stay in Wisconsin for the night....
