Day 22: a central location

Carol:

Waking up next to a convenience store/RV campground has its benefits. Colin and I strolled into the c-store for warm breakfast sandwiches and large coffees, before heading out to Spearfish. We quickly crossed into Wyoming, the 4th state of our trip. After enjoying the plains of the Cowboy State, we found ourselves at the South Dakota border. Hello state number 5!
We had a snack break in Belle Fourche, the geographical center of the USA. The last center was in Kansas, however with the addition of Hawaii and Alaska, it has since moved to Belle Fourche. After an obligatory photo, we continued on to Spearfish, home of Colin's friend, Keith. The view of the Black Hills from the old highway road was incredible.
We stayed with Keith's parents and got a tour of the Spearfish's historical fish hatchery. We also learned about how the harsh SD winters have a positive effect on the local real estate market.
Colin and I spent the afternoon at the local pub, Sanfords ( thanks for the recommendation Keith!) and rented a car for our next day excursion to Mt Rushmore and Crazy Horse the next day.

50 miles.

1307 miles total.
