Day 3 - 11/28/2021

Today we started our long road trip to South Dakota. The journey was expected to be at least 6 hours long which actually ended up being a little over 8 hours.

Our day started relatively early but by the time we all packed, got ready, dropped Simba - Akshay & Kishori's labrador dog, to Selvin - their neighbor - it was almost 11 AM, when we actually left the house and started the journey.

The road trip was full of conversations, catching up , some songs, some "ultimate tic-tac-toe" game and then some more conversat­ion. To get to Rapid City, SD - which north of Denver, we needed to cross almost half of the Colorado, entire Nebraska and then some of South Dakota.

On our way to Rapid City, SD, we visited Scotts Bluff National Monument. Driving through the summit road was a phenomenal experience. Out in the east we do not get to see such sandstone structures. Scotts Bluff Monument is 800 feet above the North Platt River and spans across 3000 acres.

After that we resumed our journey towards Rapid City. We reached there around 7:30 PM. We grabbed dinner at the Firehouse Brewery - which was excellent, especially after 8 hours of drive. After that we checked-in in our hoted and just crashed, since tomorrow is going to be long and exciting.

More to come --- signing off for today.
