    No. That's at the other side, over Beartooth Pass. You can run 212 from SD to Montana with no problem. Just be aware of the massive amount of deer out there, almost always better to run in in the daytime because of those furry terrorists. But I just came through there the other day. No biggie.

    I can confirm 212 between Crow Agency and Belle Fourche is closed to trucks ~every spring due to frost heaving.

    That's one of my favorite stretches of highway. There are spots there where it is as dark at night as it was 10,000 years ago, you cannot detect any man-made light.

    Thanks gps man. I see Whitehall in your Signature. I was hoping to get there before 0100 CT to start a reset there. I got a house 20 miles south of there I haven't seen in 2 years. I don't think I can make it running 90. Can't run till 1430 CT in a 65 e-log truck. And it has been snowing all day. At the rest area east of Sturgis and must make a fuel stop and 30 break. Might have just made it if 212 was open.

    I am still using a 6 year old Garmin 465T truck gps. And my new Samsung Galaxy has the Maps app. Hopefully the next improvement will route us around street corners with Panhandlers and Crackheads. Both devices had me running 212 until yesterday.

    It is the same app but apparently it is enhanced now. At least it is on this new Samsung I have had now for a month. Same app logo as was on my Thunderbolt for 3 years but completely new version and of course a learning curve adjusting to it.
