We called the recommended auto service guy down the street and he said to stop by at 10am. He scanned the codes and it said a part that we had just repaired before leaving home was malfunctioning.
He cleared the code and the light and suggested that altitude could be playing games and not to worry unless the light returned. So, off we went to explore downtown Custer City and bought the largest breakfast pecan roll I have ever seen.

| Yup, that is a tunnel. On the dash is the spec sheet with our exact width and height.... |

| Side mirrors folded in so we could fit. |
We then drove east into Custer State Park and up the famous scenic Needles Highway - a breathtakingly beautiful and scary drive up a narrow road with few guardrails up the mountains. We had to fold in our mirrors to get through some of the tunnels and one tunnel we had to avoid altogether because we were too high. Sure glad Jack was driving as I am not sure I could have done it.

| Sylvan Lake |
We stopped at Sylvan Lake for lunch and a nap, then drove the scenic Iron Mountain Road with gorgeous views, including Mt. Rushmore. We had visited Mt. Rushmore on a previous trip, so this is as close as we will get on this venture.
At one point, we had to stop for a herd of buffalo crossing the road.
The engine light has not returned. We have a campsite just south of Deadwood for the night.
