Day 2

Well, we said there was a chance of bad weather last night and at 11:30pm, the hotel called our room & advised us to come join the rest of the guests in the lower level linen closet due to a tornado warning. At 12:10am we went back to our room having avoided a tornado by a mile or so. However, within 10 minutes it started to Hail (Baseball Size). The hail busted our hotel room window and beat up our car. The damage was so bad, we had to file an insurance claim.

Because of our late, exciting evening - we left the hotel a little later than we would have liked.

Connor & Spencer started giggling at the amount of cows we kept seeing, but no farms or houses. Very boring drive until we finally got to the Badlands. We took a small sightseeing tour on the Badlands Loop only to have the rain return when we stopped to look around. Arriving at the hotel in Rapid City, SD. We were all glad to be out of the car for the day. We hope our weather luck is better tomorrow.(Spencer's Rest Stop)
