South Dakota – The Promised Land.  The state Laura and I planned the whole trip around.  Deadwood, The Corn Palace, Mount Rushmore, and the Crazy Horse Memorial.  Plus, if Montana is called Big Sky Country, South Dakota sahould be called Big Sky Country, Jr.  It’s just an immense openess wherever direction you look.

    I was wondering if your “arses” were numb yet?

    Hey got the (first?) postcard today, from Vermont. Thanks! I see you already made it to South Dakota! If it’s the state you planned the trip around, does that mean that you’re planning to actually see something other than highways?

    Uh oh…is there no internet service in South Dakota? Nothing posted since 6:00 last night! Where’s my morning update? It’s way better than morning coffee!
