South Dakota...eeeehhh....ok?




See below...I got the buffalo pic up from Yellowstone. So this morning I left Wyoming and headed east toward South Dakota. I made an approxiamte 100 mile detour to see Devil's Tower...then stopped in Sturgis (where they have the annual motorcycle rally every August) for coffee...then went to Mt. Rushmore where it proceeded to rain cats and dogs...then hailed. I did see a mountain goat climb a rocky hillside (picture above) which almost made it worth it. Mt. Rushmore can be seen in pictures...no need for you guys to visit. Trust me.

Then I drove 7 hours through South Dakota. It was full of deer and cow and not much else. Nothing and I mean nothing is here. I would shoot myself if I lived here. I am spending the night in Mitchell, South Dakota (home of the corn palace) then headed toward Indy to Dona Schnelle's house. I would like to make it tomorrow but it is 12.5 hours away...we'll see how much stamina I have tomorrow. Can't wait to see Dona then to get home and see my little Emmitt puppy. More later and keep the comments coming I love them. Robert...you have been my best commenting blogger...when do you start trial? What case? Is it Prather?


So.........all in all, my opinion so far is that Jackson Hole, WY has been an excellent find. Yellowstone and the Tetons are AWESOME, and Wyoming in general has been a pleasant surprise for me. Miss you all, lis

Your pictures are awesome!! I wonder what Emmitt would have thought of the buffalo? Glad you are seeing a lot of interesting (and not so interesting) things along the way. Can't wait for you to get here.

I'm with you on Mt. Rushmore. I was there with Theresa and 40 Koreans in high school. We were a big hit with all the Harley Riders at Sturgis.

I so want to go to Yellowstone and Mt. Rushmore. Beautiful pics!

BTW -- We received your postcards here at B&G and we really appreciate them. We miss you.
