After (what feels like) many problems with the car, it is now in tip-top shape and equipped with satellite radio so the next 45 hours of driving should be a breeze. I am going to try to update with any fun developments along the road, but that is dependent on whether the motels have internet. Here's our travel path and the stops along the way:

Sept. 2 - Bellevue to Missoula, MT
Sept. 3 - Missoula to Buffalo, WY
Sept. 4 - Mount Rushmore, Chief Crazy Horse, Bedrock City
Sept. 5 - End at Sioux Falls, SD
Sept. 6 - Sioux Falls to Rockford, IL
Sept. 7 - Rockfrod to Notre Dame to Toledo, OH
Sept. 8 - Toledo to Syracuse, NY
Sept. 9 - Syracuse to Middlebury, VT
