I have a better post waiting in the wings but I figured I would just make a short list of some of our adventures from the last five days of our trip.
* Look closely and you can see Thomas Jefferson behind us.
* Thomas Jefferson had the first ice cream recipe in America, so we ate nothing but ice cream for lunch that day (including T. J.'s famous recipe).
* We stayed off the interstate and stuck to two lane highways all the way to the badlands.
* At one point we were traveling down gravel roads for miles without a house in sight and miles of rolling hills and grasslands.
* At Custer state park wildlife preserve we saw one lone Buffalo.
* Every beautiful scenic drive we took; that was the exact time the girls chose to play with each other and not look out the window.
* We witnessed three young men attempting to kick off the cliff they were sitting on in the badlands (no word on whether they survived).
* Total miles travelled: 1400 (2250 kilometers) in 5 days.
* We listened to the radio a little bit but most of the soundtrack of our trip was exclusively Neil Young.
* We ate biscuits and gravy nearly every day (something we never eat).
* Wall Drug was the low point of our trip until we hit the Corn Palace on our second to last day, (they should be embarrassed) it was bad.
* Jewel cave has over 170 miles that have been mapped out (estimated to be less than 5 percent of the actual caves air mass).
* We spent an hour and a half walking through less than 1% of 5% of the cave (and it was huge!!)
* We played trivia most of the car ride, we are all very well versed in American history.
