... 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 ...

... just as i ran over. No visible damage.<br>-Incredible scenery at Badlands<br>-the twisty roads were excellent!!<br>-Had<br>yummy 'Indian Taco' at local family diner in Wall. It's fried dough<br>bread (bannock) topped with refried beans, ground beef, salad and<br>cheese. <br><br>Summary:<br>Successful riding day! 771 kms exact! Redeemed ourselves after yesterday's incident. On schedule once more.<br>

... next morning we took a horse ride up into the buttes, which was a great way to see these land forms up close.<br><br>In the evening we drove to the top of some other buttes and took turns riding our bikes down a continuous slope to the camp site, we measured the distance as 5 miles riding though fields with Bison wandering the around was a great experience. That evening we went to a rodeo, put on by the local people and some of the workers of the fort.

... wooo! Also visited the local establishment, helping out the economy with beer drinking, just doing out bit for the American people! We enjoyed some great conversation and a new friend.<br><br> We also enjoyed a drive around the area, checking out the Buttes (walls of rock on top of hills, the pictures certainly wont do them justice, an opportunity to engage that imagination!) and township. A good sleep in was also required and filled several hours ...

I'm writing in the middle of a Pine Ridge Storm. My tent is whipping around and the wind seems to be trying to force it's way in with human violence. John Red Feather came to dinner tonight. He is a gentle, loving man with whom I feel a great ease. There is something about this place and the people here that evokes a spirit, transcending all the ...

... right when I got there. Finally when they showed up and I was able to be that annoying aunt that hugged and kissed the little ones too much. Daycia and Elliot loved it! They had gotten so big since the last time I had seen them, over a year and a half ago, but I was still able to pick them up for hugs. Elliot screamed with laughter as I kissed and squeezed her, it was great! I was so happy to see my sister Layl and her ...

... This was another military outpost that was critical to the westward movement. If the traveling groups were too late to make it over the Rockies they would winter here. I have to say that by our observations this would not be a good place to spend a winter in a covered wagon. It was also the place they would re-stock their supplies.
