South Dakota

(The Mississippi, in La Crosse MN)

Driving through South Dakota tonight, i saw the stars like i have never seen them before. I cannot wait for the Badlands tomorrow, and camp under them, and get to stare and admire. I will think about my friend Molly, who wishes for stars everywhere she goes. Today we drove past a few local towns looking for a mechanic that would replace ramón's fuel filter. We had to wait until Sioux Falls to get the job done, going 55 on the highway.

(If you are ever around this area, and you need a car fixed, let me know.)

Yesterday we drove across the Mississippi. It was amazing. We stopped and took pictures. Tonight we are sleeping 500 feet from the Missouri. We drove in late night, so i haven't gotten a chance to really see it. Tomorrow...

Tomorrow - The Missouri, and the Badlands. The west turned pretty, somewhere, on I-90, and I can't explain it with words. We were driving North, and then all of the sudden, the compass flipped to West, and it was pretty. The green fields, the red sun, and an empty road.
