Where in the World is WildnWanton
Keep on guessing. I will try to make these a little less obscure, but since I prefer to travel to obscure places...well it is what it is. I will give you a hint these were taken driving across I-90.

Image 1: A rest area with some interesting information



Image 2: The worst storm I have ever driven through was here. I have tube video of the storm.



Image 3: A famous battle raged along these hills.

 1: Chamberlain SD rest area. There is a giant tipi there, as well as a display on Lewis and Clark and a few signs that say "Beware of poisonous snakes" (Which kinda makes me laugh, snakes are venomous.) And one of the most beautiful overlooks of the Missouri river along the route.

2. Just a little past the exit for Sundance, WY. One of the biggest regrets I have is not having a camera with me when I drove through there in Winter. Once I had passed Sturgis the snow became pretty heavy and was blowing. But the way it looked sparkling like diamonds in the sun with bits of that red dirt peeking through was nothing short of a fairy tale.

3 Crow Agency, MT. Big Horn County. I want to revisit this place and go to the actual battlefield site.

 Yes...first one South Dakota...where they have that info about the Lewis and Clark expedition and tell about them and Sacagawea. I think I have a very similar picture somewhere.

Talk about storms...How about driving through a snow storm in the Black Hills on the way to Mt. Rushmore? Got there alive, but never saw the big heads. Couldn't find the road to get in...was too covered with snow!

Girl, my first solo drive was in the middle of a blizzard in Dec. of 2008 The closed the gates on I-90 behind me as I passed over into MT from Wy. I was scared silly, I stopped and got a room in Big Timber, MT that was one of the coolest places ever. I have made the trip by car 4 times. I never get tired of that area. It is still open country and not full of empty strip malls and fast food joints. I was sitting in a car in a snowstorm in Wall, SD on my first trip out and I was looking at the entrance into the Badlands and I had to keep telling myself, "NO! You can't go in there, you will die" It was a hard urge to resist.

 These look somewhat like what I saw when driving to the Black Hill and along the Missouri River on the way.

You are right. Isn't that just the most gorgeous drive ever?

 Good morning. I'm guessing the 3rd image is Little Big Horn, which I visited a long time ago. Is the first image the Missouri River in South Dakota?

And right you are!

 Black Hills, SD ? ?
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

That is looking at the start of the Black Hills in the first photo.

 Wild it is very good to see you back here. You were missed.
If you see me in the real world, come say "Hi Justskin."

I always behave. Preferably not well.

Well hello there stranger! It is good to 'see' you again.
