9/16/2007



I didn’t get to write yesterday, so now I have to remember what happened. The altitude is making me dumber than I already am, so please excuse my bad writing.

So, yesterday I went to Mt. Rushmore. It was so amazing. You can’t even imagine how big it is until you stand under it. To get there, I had to drive on 90 for a looooong time. Most of the drive was like every other day; totally flat. When I finally got to the Black Hills, it was so refreshing to see something other than corn.

I also went to Wall Drug, which I had never heard of, but was told I had to go. They have billboards for at least 200 miles before it. The billboards are cooler than the place. It’s basically a mall with lots of western crap. But at least I can say I’ve been.

I stayed in a hotel last night for $39.95, which was cheaper than the KOA I would have stayed at. The hotel was in Keystone, SD, which is basically the first town after Mt. Rushmore. It’s a cute town that reminded me a lot of the old west. I had an amazing night’s sleep, and this morning, I started driving again.
