Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't D.C. have some ordinance against the operation of Truck Campers/RVs near the white house or in the D.C. proper area?

If you stopped in Spearfish, you are on I-90, not I-80 as in your first post. Beware, I-80 is no fun East of Omaha. a poor surface and lots and lots of semi's.

realter..you are right...I 90. Anyway we are in Indianapolis and have not had any wifi service until today...we have boondocked all the way so far until today...we are doing washing this evening after have spent the whole day with some good pals I have not seen in 15 years...off to the Speedway in the morning, then onto Columbus to meet up with another chum on Tuesday morning. these are a busy days getting to VA for the first. This place is supposed to have wifi at the site, but I am sitting in a covered area/picnic shed with a breeze and I think i'll wait to do the posating of pics.
Only had rain yesterday, more spray from the trucks than the sky.
Having a grand time! Capt PJ

Actually I 80 is no fun in southern Wyoming- to many semi's that will run you over rather than slow down- No hijack intended- Capt if you do get back towards the Wind River Range area- give us a shout!

We liked I-80 better than I-90 where it went through S Dakoda and Minn.. it's all good when you are traveling in a truck camper.
BTW... everytime we go to a high school reunion we boondock in the parking lot... we get a lot of visitors as friends drive by and just stop... handy!!! And we've parked overnight at the country club where they have the main event.
Think of it as ultimate tail-gateing. 
see you soon
