I believe a whole vacation could be spent between western Nebraska and the Black Hills of South Dakota.
For the past 14 years we have been meeting up with friends at Custer SP in SD every Fall. Wonderful time of the year. Wind Cave National Park is near by as well as Devils Tower in eastern Wyoming. Plus the a visit to Deadwood and Lead SD while in the area. Plus the train ride being pulled by an old steam engine from Hill City to Keystone SD is enjoyable. Etc, etc. I could go on and on to add places of interest.
Just way too much for the original poster to take in on one trip with what appears to be a pretty full itinerary already.
I did't want to get into the see and do of the Black Hills (some much you could write a book) so I limited my comments to a couple of things on the south end closer to Ft Robinson.
There are lots of things to see and do in Nebraska also, and the OP should tell us his proposed route east to MI, we might be able to make some suggestions.
As 3oaks noted, there is way too much to see and do for a week, and now that I have returned from that trip (left GA on Aug 12, arrived Spearfish on Aug 15 and saw the Eclipse near Alliance, NE on August 21 and departed east and arrived home in the wee early hours of August 24.) I have discovered a number of places and things that I missed, and there are other things I knew I was missing due to the limited time for the trip.
Somewhere in the next couple of years I will again visit the area, if at all possible, or at least stay awhile while passing thru.
