(sidenote: if you're interested in seeing some pictures, I've uploaded an album to facebook. Friend me!)After leaving Rochester, we truly entered God's country. Never before have I seen so much land untouched by man. Most of the time I feel like I'm living in a surreal post card, something akin to the paintings and photographs in the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Other times, however, I don't get to enjoy the view as much as I would like because I am scouting out potholes, gravel, and trying to dodge family RVs.My days have since blurred together and I regret not keeping up a better record of everything that has happened. I have journaled about some of the days, but have really gotten behind on this blog. In lieu of a summary of every day, I will leave you with a series of images. Enjoy!Mitchell, SD has a corn palace. I suspect it is run by mosquitos.Through the doors of a school in Murdo, you can find a telephone booth still home to a payphone. Hurry, before it is ripped away like all others.The Badlands were dreamed up by the Grand Canyon, after it has tired of its sunken form and decided to raise itself to the sky.Wall Drug has benches lining its storefronts and coffee for 5cents - on the honor system.In Rapid City, we did our laundry in a cute cottage house across the street. There were fly cabinets and a blue room.Deer lurk outside church windows in Gillette.At the bottom of the Bighorn Mountains in the late evening, wind pulls in cool air after a 103 degree day.In Ennis, a Romanian man told me the stars are different out here. If you lay on a picnic table at 1am and look up, you feel as though you can reach them.Young people frolic alongside the highway in clear water and underwater caves. It smells like pine.In Missoula at the Adventure Cycling Association Headquarters, we looked at a picture of a "mystery girl" from circa 1976 during the "Bikecenntenial." The owner said one day someone will come in and say "that's my mother."I'm at the library in Missoula. I've used a computers named Mork, Mindy, Archie and Gilda.Tomorrow, we shall continue on through Lolo Pass!
