We are currently in Wyoming with Internet access for the first time in a few days. We've had a great and busy past couple of days exploring the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, the Black Hills and of course the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota. We saw lots of wildlife including buffalo, deer, and pronghorns. This was also our first two days of camping. Of course, it rained both nights.
Yesterday, we drove even further west to Yellowstone. During our drive, we saw a moose in Big Horn National Forest. Josh named it Meredith because "of the uncanny resemblance" to my sister. We also stopped at Devil's Tower and did a short hike around the base of our nation's first national and natural monument. Bet you didn't know that!
We didn't arrive in Yellowstone until after 11 p.m. Of course, the park had experienced bad storms before we arrived so our campsite was nice and soggy. Wyoming is also a lot colder than South Dakota and we froze a little last night. Correction: I froze. I am looking forward to the colder and stormy weather that is approaching at the moment. I love camping.
Weather permitting, we are scheduled to go on a horseback ride through the Grand Teton National Park in about an hour, however the sky is currently darkening. We'll try to post again as soon as we find internet connection.
Okay so my last comment may have been a little mean. Glad you're having a great trip. Excited to hear about/see pics of Sturgis -- unless your ears are still ringing.
