3 years ago, we did the same trip, around 2 weeks after the bike week, took 90 west and went to SD and MT Rushmore. First thing that comes to mind is that our EZ Pass was a good thing to have when it worked! It was a hit or miss situation sometimes. On our way west we stopped for lunch at The Field of Dreams movie set in Iowa. The house and baseball field and corn field is all there. The house is privately owned as is the rest of the property but open to the public ( except the house, the owners still reside there) and is free! At SD We stayed at Rafter J Bar Ranch campground, which i would highly recommend, Very nice place and close to Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse,, etc... We also took a day trip via rental car to Devils Tower. Another day we took a guided jeep tour through Custer State Park that goes off road and can get you within a few feet of the herds of buffalo in the park as well as going places you cant get to in your own vehicle. We also took the old steam locomotive ride ( i think its called the 1880's train or something) you also want to take a drive on the Needles Highway (not in your RV, cars are the only way due to tunnels etc) On our way back home we went thru Badlands National Park, and stayed the night at a great little place "The Laura Ingalls Wilder Homestead" in Desmet SD. They are like a living history place, and have 4 rv sites with water and electric hookups and a dump station. It was about 3 miles off the interstate and down a dirt road ( completely doable in our Class C so no worries) and is surrounded by corn fields. Unbelievably quiet, and spectacular sunsets... you will have a great time, have a good trip! (feel free to semd me a Message if you want any more info)
Wow, that sounded like a great time! Rafters J was really nice?
Did you go back home on I90 East or did you do a lower loop say to see other things?
Thanks
