One of our guilty pleasures is watching the show The Amazing Race. If you've ever watched that show, you know that a Road Block requires contestants to complete a task before moving on to their next destination. For us, this task is to successfully find a Subaru service center that will replace/repair our right axle for us before sundown on Monday, August 17th before we can make our way to Glacier National Park (where we'd planned to camp this evening).
To clarify, there was no incident resulting in a broken axle just some apparently shoddy looking-over of Ruby (our car) at our local Subaru dealership before we hit the road (according to the nice folks in Bozeman, MT the axle has been in bad shape for more than the ~1200 miles we've driven in the last few days).
The good news: this Road Block has afforded us a chance to access the internet and we expect to be back on our way towards Glacier this afternon. The bad news: the camera is in the car (which is in the service garage) so no pictures as of now!
Brief recap of the last few days: we spent Saturday night in scenic Chamberlain, SD after driving through a crazy lightening storm. Yesterday we stopped at Wall Drug before driving past Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse National Monuments, a bit of northeastern Wyoming, and then finally into Montana. We spent the night in the town of Livingston, MT - gateway to the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park - and had breakfast this morning at a restaurant we ate at 4 years ago when moving to Wisconsin (although neither of us had remembered being in Livingston before entering the restaurant).
