Where do I begin? Since the last blog was posted, Laura and I have enjoyed a lovely drive from the middle of Iowa to the west side of South Dakota. The drive should've taken 9 hours, but we managed to turn it into a 12 hour road trip.
How does one do this? You decide to check out Badlands national park (check the pictures). Laura and I spent 2 hours this evening hiking, driving, and taking pictures in the beautiful park. The views were spectacular and Laura is still amazed by the landscape. Once Laura got her picture taking under control, we headed out of the park and made a quick stop at Wall Drug. Yes, you read that correctly. Laura has officially seen Wall Drug. She even took a picture to prove it (once again check the pics). We finally arrived in Rapid City SD and are looking forward to exploring Black Hills national park tomorrow.
Oh, by they way, the pictures loaded today cover our trip from Cincinnati to South Dakota. All you Fighting Illini should check out the picture of your alma mater (taken at Lincoln Ave and Green St.) The random Bus shot with bicycles on top is one of many that we passed on the road. They looked like a wild bunch and had some crazy team names. I think the one in the picture is "Bad Monkey"! Crazy stuff.
See you all soon!
Laura and Dan : )

Hi Guys!!! You look like you are having a blast! The pictures are wonderful. Be safe and enjoy your trip!
Great pictures of the Badlands!!! But why would anyone in their right mind go to SOUTH Dakota? It is the armpit of the country! No one goes there because there is nothing there to see or do or even people to talk to and there is no....oops!....wrong Dakota..never mind.
