Badlands in South Dakota

I really love South Dakota.  We drove through the Badlands Park...beautiful.

How to get a head...

 

And there you have it...GW's profile.  We did get to see the full on Mt. Rushmore.  We did get off the bikes to take the picture and the sun was such that I couldn't take it.  I didn't need to go into the park, there were long lines and it's hot (approaching 90 degrees).  I was happy with the profile shot. And then the below.  

I really can not believe I am riding the motorcycle and to Mt. Rushmore.

Special Places...

Rich loves the Cracker Barrel (CB) restaurant.  And truth be told, I have never been to one.  We plugged the address into the GPS and went today.  Turns out there is only one CB in South Dakota.  Mike and I asked Rich what do you usually order?  And he replied, "there is only one thing I order, it's the meatloaf".  The three of us had meatloaf today for our lunch/dinner.  And I must say, it was pretty good.  And I have this feeling, it was pretty good all because of Rich.  

Corn, Corn and More Corn

When in Rome, eat like the Romans.  We were in Iowa and Minnesota today and corn is everywhere.  Mike asked, "have you ever tried these before?"  I haven't and they were actually kind of good...in a salt and crunchy kind of way.  (I also tried the Red Bull too...and we'll just leave it that).   

Time and space...

Will try to post some pics and more stories.  The thing is this...when on the motorcycle, we are passing some of the most beautiful scenery and it's impossible to take a picture of what we just saw.  Then we stop for gas, a stretch, and some water and now I have time for a picture - except this could be anywhere!  We are in Iowa right now and making our way to South Dakota.
