day 4 - yellowstone national park. i didn’t realize how big this place was. after i paid my admission fee, i had to drive another 60 miles (a good chunk of it through construction) to my campsite, which was still only about halfway through the park! on the way, i passed these bision chilling out and took a pic from my car. -

it took forever to find a place to spend the night that wasn’t swarming with bikers. i’d hoped to stay in the rapid city area that night, but i ended up driving into wyoming. there were still tons of bikers at this campsite. in addition to the crowdedness, this site was also the lamest of the trip, as i had no fire ring and it was twice as expensive as the others. i did take a shower there, though, so that was a bonus. -

as you walk up to mt. rushmore, there’s a flag for each u.s. state and territory. here’s ohio. on a slightly related note, i just purchased an ohio flag which i have proudly displayed on the wall of my new apartment. -

mt. rushmore. i couldn’t help but sing the team america: world police theme song to myself the entire time i was here. and yes, there were more bikers here than you can shake a pair of leather chaps at. -

the apparently world-famous wall drug store. another thing the aaa lady told me i should check out. i had a buffalo chili dog here for lunch. it was pretty good, but ridiculously overpriced. oh, and if you couldn’t tell, it was swarming with bikers too. -

the badlands. pretty sweet, huh? ironically, i happened to be driving through south dakota during the world-famous sturgis motorcycle rally, so this whole day i think i saw about 2 bikes for every other type of vehicle. and most of those others were trucks pulling trailers with more bikes. -

day 3 - i swear i took a picture of my camp outside of sioux falls, but i guess it didn’t develop. anywho, this is the apparently world famous corn palace in mitchell, sd. the lady at aaa told me about it so i figured i’d stop and take a picture. i got here before it opened, although i wouldn’t have gone inside even if it were.
