Hill City, South Dakota

Today we left Hardin, Montana on our way to Hill City, South Dakota. The only excitement on this leg is almost running out of gas. I wanted to make it to Rapid City because the Diesel prices on the little towns along the way seemed high. My tour guide mentioned a Flying J station in Rapid City so we kept on trukin’. When we pulled into the station my low gas light had been on for a few miles. I was thankful to have been able to stop next to the gas pump because I knew I was very low on gas. The truck’s tank holds 33 gallons. I filled it up with 32.5 gallons. I will never do that again!
After we set up the RV in Hill City and ate dinner, we got on our bikes to check out the Mickelson trail which runs right by this place. It’s a 110 mile trail from end to end. We rode three miles into town and checked out the 1880 Train ride. We liked both the trail and the train so we made plans for tomorrow to ride about 30 miles on the bikes and afterwards take the two hour train ride.
