Curious to hear from those who have taken this route - good ride? Lots of gas along the way?

It's a good ride, fuel west of the Missouri River gets thin but it's out there!

Definitely top off when you can. Last time I went that way some stations were closed in the evening and they didn't have modern pumps allowing pumping with a CC payment.

I did it ( 14 ) a few years ago Keith ... there are some long lonely stretches ... Don't pass a gas stop ... Of course you'll end up at Wall Drug then on to Rapid City
