Before I tell you about the last couple of days, though, we'll start off with pictures from Rushmore and Scottsbluff - the ones Jason was going to post two days ago! I'll post these and then start from scratch with a new post about Yellowstone and today's drive. Enjoy the view!
Here's me with some Presidents... I wouldn't have put this one up here on my own, but Jason wanted to. Apparently he stands crooked, thus the crooked picture!
And here are the Presidents without me. I think they look much better this way!!
This is a view from the Wildcat Hills outside of Scottsbluff, NE. We managed to miss the rain that day, and saw some amazing views! 
This is a view from the Scottsbluff National Monument. It's absolutely gorgeous up there - especially when you drive up the monument instead of hiking!
And finally, here's Jason in front of an old covered wagon. The Oregon Trail runs right through Scottsbluff, with ruts still visible. When the settlers were moving west, they had to follow particular routes through the area, causing deep ruts in the sandstone. Normally, they would be spread out for miles, but the terrain in this area (the bluffs and the North Platte River) forced them to follow almost the same route through the bluffs, leaving behind a track dug by thousands of footprints and horsehooves... it's pretty neat to see! I'm going to go ahead and post this and then start a new one for Wyoming and Montana! Hope you like the pictures! More to come....
