Day 10 ~ Cody, Wyoming to Spearfish, South Dakota

Our day started out rested and ready to head out for a 350 mile drive to Spearfish, South Dakota.  Both Tanner and Frankie were also up for the drive as they were still tired from yesterdays play time at the Doggie Day Care.   We drove over Burgess Junction Mountain Pass, reaching an elevation of 9000 feet.  You can see Cloud Peak  and Black Tooth Mountain (elevation 13,165 ft) .  These are the two of the highest mountains in Wyoming.  It was an absolutely gorgeous drive!  We stopped at a couple scenic viewpoints to give the dogs a break and stretch our legs.  As we traveled farther East, the warmer it got!

We fueled up in Gillette, WY and got back on the road without taking a long break.  We are anxious to get to our next destination.  Looks like we lost one of our Chrome Beauty Rims off the fifth wheel on the pass.  Guess we'll have to get a new one!  Can't sweat the small stuff.

We arrived at Chris' Camp in Spearfish, SD.  We are very pleased with the park.  Looking forward to using the swimming pool!  It's 93 degrees, but it is a nice dry heat.  The park has a great fenced in dog area where we can use the ball slinger, maybe we can exhaust them again so we can enjoy our day tomorrow in Deadwood, SD.

John took me out to an Italian Dinner at Roma's.   Good Food!

We unfortunately have two medical issues we need to attend to while on this trip.  John has chipped a tooth and the filling is exposed, and to top that off, he cut his index finger really bad!  We are going to look into these while in Spearfish.
