Buy a C330 garmin navigator while your there. Walmart has them for $168 worth every penny. Put any us address in it and it will take you right there slickest thing since beer.

More questions

Can a person cut across on 16 as it shows on the map or is that closed in the winter. Is the shortest route to go back up through Billings?? Thanks in advance

I always run I90 across SD and go to Belfouch and across 212. less hills and wind than I90 and 70 miles less. but if you go at night the gas station in Broadas closes at 10:30. 220 miles without gas at night. then go to Billings once you reach I90 and go west to Laurel to 212 and head towards Cody to Hwy 310 to 296( Chief Joeseph Hwy) to parking lot. 802 miles that way.

Thats the way we typically go to. We have also done what T/A is talking about except we go across west of Sheridan, and up and over the Big Horns by Burgess Junction.

Takes a long freakin time no matter which way you go,......
