Long day but I finally made camp. Drove to Pierre, SD today. I think there about 3 houses and 12 trees between Huron and Pierre. Wide open out here. Had the top down on the Jeep all day. I'm whipped. Turned on wi-fi on my phone to see if I could find a hot spot. Burgur King hit. Wouldn't have guessed that one.

Things I learned today;

You can drop $350 on the floor of MG Caribou and go back half an hour later and it will still be on the floor where you dropped it :).

There are parts of MN where wind turbines outnumber iPods 2-1.

Cruise control - must be heaven sent.

Large trucks going by you in the other direction at 70 MPH - must be from hell. I'm sure the hood of the Jeep is going fly up into the windshield before I get home.

Sunscreen - just wear it you idiot!

Some of the best scenery of the day was seen on detours of closed roads.

Hope to get to the Black Hills tomorrow. I should have some more interesting photos after that,

Goodnight all.
