rapid city, south dakota

well, i'm in colorado right now.. but i have so much to update you with so i'm going to do this in chunks.

i left madison on the 10th of august and drove 11 hours to rapid city, south dakota.
it was a long drive (especially through south dakota. that state gets very boring in the middle there) but i made it safe and sound. and early too!

my kind host, bill, took me for a hike on the first day around sylvan lake. we then checked out some native american art and chilled out at a coffee shop.



on my second day, anna and emma joined us on our adventures. we went to see mount rushmore,



crazy horse (this is awesome. the scope of this is just amazing.),



custer state park (we saw sweet rocks, mountain goats, buffalo, antelope and a ga-jillion prairie dogs),



and wind cave (the fourth longest cave in the world!).



eventually, i will upload all my pictures on webshots..
but i have stuff to do today so you, patient readers, will have to wait.

until then, i bid you adieu.
