... He gave me some strong antibiotics so I hope to be back to full health in time for tea and crumpets on the front lawn.<br><br>With a new found respect for life coursing through my veins, I headed to Mount Rushmore to see four giant faces in a row. And I wasn't disappointed. There were four of them. They were giant. And strike me down if they weren't in a row. <br><br>Just down the road was Crazy ...

... the man agreed and asked Fred where we<br>were from &#8211; first time someone has asked since we've been here! (Apart from the JW girl). Fred told him and then asked him where they were from, he said Canada. I told him that he was the first person to ask us that, American's just don't ask us where we're from &#8211; he laughed and said, &#8220;They don't much ask me either!&#8221; which I thought was very funny.<br><br>Drove back to Custer, SD where we are staying in a ...

... homemade donuts ever !We drove through the Badlands National Park at this point and again, shear cowboy scenery and beauty ! As I keep thinking every day for us is like going to an Amusement Park !! We ended up in Kennebec, SD which was the KOA we call the &#8220;sewer slew&#8221;. We were parked right next to the sewer pond and the wind ran just the right way for us !! Incredible stench !! and huge mosquitoes !! <br><br>Posted by Tracy

... the Bad Lands, deep gorges, sharp lunar-like spires, buttes and pinnacles greeted us ---- shaped by the Great Flood, prairie winds and rain. The Lakota gave this land its name, "mako sica," meaning "land bad." Erosion revealed sedimentary layers of different colors: purple and yellow (shale), tan and gray (sand and gravel), red and orange (iron oxides) and white (volcanic ...

... it was loud and no time for much conversation and sometimes that's a good thing. So I'm heading to South Dakota. I could stay here 1 more day but it wouldn't be useful so I head on. 6 p.m.: We're here in Rapid City. I am going across the street to a simple diner to get some food and then I'll be watchin some tv and get a good night sleep.... Good night! L and J

... a large walk way it has pillars made of granite on the sides they have the names of all the states and territory's in the USA. (we took a picture of the MN one) After walking down the way, you come to a large theader. They have a show there at night right before they illiminate the statue. We could not go to it because we needed to get some sleep with the time change and we have a long drive (to yellowstone!!!) tommorow. On the way back we could see the ...

Vi er nu kørt lidt længere west på og det kan godt mærkes.... de der cowboys er mægtig høflige og tiltager fruen i familien "Hello Maaamm. How're you today" og begge mænd i familien bliver tiltalt "Mister". Det bekommer os nu egentlig vældig fint . Vi boede i den lille hyggelige cowboy-by Custer lige uden for Custer State Park, hvor vi tilbragte 2 dage. Denne park er virkelig super med ...

After a rousing morning of shoveling snow in Rapid City, we took my roommate to see Mount Rushmore National Memorial, which is just a few minutes outside the city. He'd done some traveling in the U.S., but he hadn't seen much of the American West yet. Since Rushmore is such an American icon, we figured it'd be a perfect place to daytrip. It was more of a morning trip. We had breakfast in ...

... area before I ran out. I would be hitting Rapid City soon so I figured I would get gas there cheaper. Gas was my major expense so I always kept close of it as I went along. <br> The Badlands National Park was my main destination for the day and at Cactus Flat I headed south and entered the northeast entrance. I stopped at the first scenic overlook by the gate and then the Big Badlands Overlook where I took the first ...
