In Blackfoot ID after a day going on mostly back roads through WY. Yellowstone was neat. Tomorrow could be the last day.

Taking a pit stop at "Rawhide Coffee" in Cody, WY. A weird juxtaposition of western feel and the more standard latte and wifi.

In Worland WY, after a gorgeous drive through Bighorn wilderness. Driving music: Brokeback Mountain soundtrack. Perfect.

Heading out from Rapid City, through Yellowstone today, and probably into Idaho.

In Rapid City, SD. Took a long detour down to Rosebud and Pine Ridge, and into the Badlands. Starting to get a bit tired.

"Life is crap" line of T-shirts at the truck stop in rural SD. Is there an appropriate class/cultural analysis?

learned what the round button in place of an 'E' or '3G' means on my iPhone - analog! Borrowing truckstop wifi. In middle of nowhere SD.

Safe and sound in western MN Didn't make it to South Dakota today, but there's no hurry anyway. Catching up on Gustav news on TV.

At a rest stop getting gas and catching up on Gustav news. Scary. I'm praying for those in harms way.

Anyone know the geological origin of the steep hills in MN where 90 meets the Mississippi? Glacial? Erosion?
