Day 18: We're starting out in the middle of nowhere, Minnesota


Missouri River


Crossing it










After entering South Dakota (state 6 of 10), we found an abandoned town.




A monumnet to creationism? Around here, wouldn't doubt it.


It was super hot, windy, and dry.


Badlands




















Eek


98.6 F... the ideal temp of a human body O.o






























There was thunder and lightening in the distance and I was standing on the highest point for miles and miles.




Carried this bugger for a couple states.


Rapid City, South Dakota


Behind Mount Rushmore, essentially, a nice change in geography from the rest of the state.


Time to pitch a tent, build a fire, and kick back with the old guitar.


Day 19: Drove through Custer State Park.




Traffic jam, SD style.


"Why don't we do it in the road?" - The Beatles




A turkey. I almost ran it over.


Cave explorin'






George looking presidential while Ted and Abe eskimo kiss.


I was too cheap to pay 10 bucks and go up and get the good view, so instead Abe has a beard of trees.


Well that's nice of them. (State 7 of 10)








Big Horn Mountain Pass is pretty damn nice.
























Some future XP standard backgrounds?






Moo.






Looks like a fun drive.






















Smoke from a forest fire near Yellowstone.


Old West
























Second time caught speeding.


In Yellowstone after sunset.


Blury, but you get the idea just how many stars you can see.


Day 20: Old Faithful

It was mostly a disappointment



























State 8 of 10


Berkley Pit, Butte, Montana




State 9 of 10


Spent the night in Spokane, Washington (state 10 of 10)

Day 21: Final Day, headed home throught Washington State and then over the border to Vancouver!

Bellevue, Washington


Customs.


Home.

Very cool, looks like it was a lot of fun!!

Crap. Places that I would've considered dull and boring look completely awesome. Just goes to show you that you can't judge a place without having actually been there. I got the urge to travel now but it will have to wait til summer.

First, I'm insanely jealous of your road trip. I saw all four of your threads and I hope to do a continental road trip one of these days, but for now I'm settling for small weekend getaways. Second, your photography is awesome. I wanted to post my favs but there are too many to list. Great job. Must have been one hell of a trip.

Man, this really makes me realize how I wasted my summer. I'm jealous.
