The Stardust Motel

After climbing a 22 mile hill, we slept at mt rushmore all day. We saw the wild side of mt rushmore movie twice so we could sleep through it the second time.










Afterwards we crashed at a KOA campsite where we met Chris and tory, who graciously let us hang out with them and sleep on their site. The next day on our way out of the black hills, we went faux spelunking through jewel cave. Luckily, it was 49 degrees in the cave and guided by a robot lady so we were cool and didn't have to think.



















Last night we entered Wyoming and joined a biker gang at the bar. They gave us back rubs, booze, food and good times.









While at the bar, we met up with a fellow cross country traveler. This is lee:









Lee is from NYC and he is headed to Portland, OR. After his family died in a fire caused by his meth lab, he quit his job as a bingo hall announcer and set off for the west. He'll probably ride with us for the next few days. He has a ukulele so we're going to try to keep him with us for as long as possible. Hopefully by Friday we'll be in yellowstone.

  1. Hi Guys...I see you took the scenic route through South Dakota...and Badlands...and Black Hills. Yes, Jewel Cave is COOL...in images and temps. I'm glad you had a good trip...even making it to Mt. Rushmore. On to Yellowstone...and the Tetons...even more beautiful. I'm really enjoying tagging along...great photos!
