Road Trip!

Part of the reason Jon changed our route heading southwest was to pass thru Deadwood, South Dakota "where Western legends were made". Jon reveals he's related to Wild Bill Hickok (I think this needs to be confirmed! and....we later learn that the famous person he is actually related to is Buffalo Bill Cody) and I chuckle to myself that I could be Calamity Jane (having survived 2 hurricanes and a total house fire) We create our own drama by taking a shortcut towards Wyoming thru a remote mountain pass (85) and start to worry when the low gas indicator goes on and we are 90 miles from Cheyenne with no sign of life around. We are relieved to come up on the town of Lusk and more than happy to pay over $3 a gallon for gas!
