Wall, SD to Rapid City, SD
I had to drive today since I hadn't in a while and it was my turn. It was fine, since the ride was a pretty boring 60 miles and I didn't feel bad about missing anything. We did meet an awesome rancher, Gus Aus, on the way who took us around his farm and showed us his mini rodeo bulls. The bulls may have been mini, but they were still pretty huge from what I saw, and he also showed us the hilarious mannikin that he painted a bikini on and put next to the highway to distract drivers.
The next day was a rest day, and we explored Rapid City, which is really cool. There are president statues on every corner, so I got a bunch of pics of those, including a pretty awesome one of Nixon. There was also a graffiti wall which was awesome, and even had a TWLOHA reference, which I had to take a pic of for Mav. After that, I picked up my care packages, and was delighted to see how much I got. Many many thanks to my Mom, sister and Grandma Dawn, who sent me so much food that I don't know how I will be able to fit it all in my backpack tomorrow! I also got a pro FLickr account, so I can put all my pics up now, without waiting. So check that out, I put up all my pics from Wisconsin on, there are a ton.

See ya in Cowboy Country!!
