Left Albert Lea, MN first thing this morning. Drove straight through to Wall, South Dakota and had lunch at the "world famous" Wall Drug.
Just east of Rapid City, SD, as I drove past Ellsworth Air Force Base, I saw the B-1 Bomber doing touch & go's. My timing was perfect as one of the bombers went right in front of me then made a left turn tight enough that I was looking at the top of the aircraft as it turned past me. VERY COOL!!! I tried to catch a photo of it but it went past too fast. I took a few photos of the B-1 Bomber from Ellsworth AFB web site so you could see what aircraft I'm talking about. The first photo is exactly like what I saw except it was the top of it, not the bottom.
It was 105 degrees going through the Badlands, Rapid City, and Sturges, South Dakota. I stopped for the night in Gillette, Wyoming at the Flying J truck stop. It is so dry out here that when cleaning the bugs off the windshield the cleanning fluid would dry before I could wipe it off.
