Day Four - Black Hills of SD, across WY, to Yellowstone!

So on the morning of the 4th day, we went to JEWEL CAVE! It's the 2nd longest cave in the world (Mammoth Cave in KY is the longest). It was very cool... very different from east coast caves because of the lack of water... We all loved it and had a great time... Here are a couple of pictures... hard to see how neat it was though!

JEWEL CAVE

Did You Know?
Jewel Cave is the second longest cave in the world, with over 150 miles of mapped passages. On average, volunteer cavers discover and map over 3 miles of passages in Jewel Cave every year!

Okay, so BEFORE THE CAVE... I needed a pick-me-up! I was very tired... and so, I turned to my roots!

After Jewel Cave, we headed to Yellowstone!!!! Across Wyoming, baby!

We hopped on HWY 16 for the trip across...

We stopped at a loverly DIVE for some cheeseburgers, fries and malts!

We crossed through Gillette, on our way to Sheridan, and over the Big Horn mountain range! Wow!

On the way, we went by Crazy Woman Creek... love it!

East of Big Horn Mtns... heading up into them...

The vistas in the Big Horns were amazing!

JoJo enjoys the scenery, too!

The difference in the terrain on the West Side of the Big Horns is amazing!!

So we made it to Cody, WY that evening and on into Yellowstone! I'll do a complete post dedicated to Yellowstone when next I post... soon, I hope! 

Trying to catch up, but we are sooooo busy in Utah with our new life and our new roles! We love it!
