Wow!!!! Ok, I have a lot of catching up to do for everyone...and.......today is not the day. Big day of seeing some american icons is on my plate and the sunlight will melt away faster than an untended ice cream cone. So, the quick update, I am in Rapid City, SD. I've slept in my Jeep for the last 3 nights...and no I haven't showered. Its liberating..nothing but open road, fresh air and a compass rose holding steady on the big W. I plan to have a down day soon, to do laundry, shower and catch up on this blog including posting some pics. Today, its Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse and the Black Hills, then on to the least populous state in the union...Wyoming. I need a cowboy hat.
