LAST DAY OF TRAVEL DAY#4

Up early again and woo hoo lets do a dance it is the last day of travel for this trip we are so ready to get there. On the road dogs are asleep and we are just so excited.

Trucking along and we are just wondering how long it will be until we actually reach South Dakota. about 5 hours into our trip because of pee stops for the dogs finally we hit SOUTH DAKOTA lets do our happy dance this will be home for the summer. We always do a happy dance when we reach our home state lol.. 

At this point the truck is not happy at all I can see why this area is called the Black Hills Holy hills batman. wishing and hoping that we will make it up all these hills. The truck loses speed and the flashers go on. I guess we will not be leaving SD without a bigger truck :-( 

One hill really stuck it to us we made it 3/4 of the way up and you guessed it we overheated. We stopped and pulled over it was overheating so bad that it was boiling. I had grass and the dogs needed to stretch so while we were waiting for the truck to cool her engine me and the dogs took walks one by one. It was the hottest day this month in SD not really good for pulling up big hills. At least where we were stopped was going up the side of a mountain lol so we had a decent breeze. 30 minutes or so later the truck is cooled and we are ready to hit the road again creeping up the mountain with the flashers on hoping and wishing to just make it the last 47 miles we had!!

it took us 1 hour 30 minutes to go 47 miles up hills because the truck was not happy BUT WE MADE IT!!!!!!!! We hopped out of the truck we went in and introduced ourselves and they said "you finally made it" and we could not have been happier big blue made it and we promise to never make her pull again well atleast with us she wont. we Will have to have another truck before we leave I do not think she could take another trip. So I guess the update on weather she could pull our new rig the answer is YES but not happily. 

We get escorted to our spot had a very fun time backing in you have to get the spot just right in order to be able to open the slide and have enough room to get out of our door. pictures will be posted and you will see what I mean. Now we are in and we are just so relieved. All I can say was this was the most eventful trip we have had. Hello Crooked Creek Resort!!!! home for the next 4 months and it is so beautiful here!!!
