It is amazing to think that the past month and a half has gone by so quickly. After an exhausting day in Yellowstone Park, I will give a bit of a quick summary since I have not been very consistent with blogging. Hopefully this will change with the little time left.The east coast was busy, but I enjoyed that aspect of it.Pennsylvania was beautiful, especially the mountains.The midwest was...comforting. A bit flat and at times boring, but it was pleasant to be near home.South Dakota can best be described as 'natural beauty'. The land that surrounded our ride was simple: rolling hills and boundless prairies. Unlike the rest of the state, the Badlands were unlike anything I had ever seen. They are something that you have to see to understand.Lastly, Wyoming was jaw-dropping. Both because of the stereotypical cowboy Western culture that is so well maintained and because of the nothing-desert landscapes. Yellowstone and the Big Horns didn't hurt either.In case you were wondering, here is the score for favorites:1) Wyoming2) Pennsylvania3) Wisconsin4) South DakotaIn later days I should be blogging more, sorry for the wait.
