We are currently camped out in wyoming near devils tower and I am reporting via cell phone so the pictures will come soon. We spent a night in Kilen Woods State Park in MN, which was really nice and quiet although it did continue to rain. We got to take a short trail ride on our bikes near the Missouri River. The rain was finally gone in the morning and we headed to South Dakota. We stopped to have a beer at a tiny tavern in the Black Hills. When we walked in we were greeted by a bunch of bikers silently staring us down as we approached the bar. To our delight, one of the biker girls noticed Adam's "some place special" UP shirt and struck up a conversation about how she was born and raised there until she moved to vegas... With the awkward silence broken we enjoyed a New Belgium 1554 for 2.25 a piece. We spent the night off a random road in the Black Hills National Forest. There were cattle roaming all through the woods and it drove Marley wild. Today we were tourists for a bit and went to Mount Rushmore. We also went for a bike ride in the Black Hills where we discovered how much we enjoy our Michigan oxygen! I'm pretty sure we nearly died. Adam also flatted on the really fun downhill. So here we are, in the van, Adam playin guitar, I, his only fan, sipping wine and feeling more than fine.
