...or so says the South Dakota state slogan.
SD has been good to Katy and I, but we do feel like we are not making enough headway. This whole losing an hour as we move east is really doing a number on us... Regardless, we are creeping our way to the easy side.
We are also feeling a little land locked. I need a coast soon, or at least a great lake, tomorrow.
So, we were happy to depart Buffalo, as you read about in the previous blog. We set off to get in touch with our patriotic side, paid the $11 entry fee, and went to see Mt. Rushmore. Did you know Washington's nose is longer then all the other presidents? (by one foot in stone). It was a really great memorial to see for a total of 15 minutes; its one in which I do not have to see again, forever.
Badlands: yet another spectacular sight for the eyes. It makes you think you no longer are on earth, much like the trend of the other parks. We wanted to climb and go exploring but we are on a ridiculous schedule, today. Once we left the park, we were still looking at 10+ hour day, and thats if we get to our best destination- middle of Iowa somewhere.
Side note: I have been collecting national park stickers and I am really excited about my amazing water bottle. (see pics)
Just in: No snow or 9000 foot peaks in the forecast for tonight...
