Woke up to a beautiful South Dakotan morning, dry (see previous post). Repacked the car, ate some breakfast and hit the road. We drove east with a planned stop in St. Paul, MN to see some family friends.
This should have been in yesterdays posting, not this one, this has been a lot trip (We drove thru Bighorn National Park in Wyoming which was probably one of my favorite drives of this trip. Driving thru rock outcroppings that were 250 million to pre cambrian granite 2.5 billion? years old. A lot of switchbacks, winding turns and some amazing views. The road then went thru ranches where i saw a real cowboy watching his cattle graze.) When we got thru the park South Dakota just turned flat, the entire rest of the state which brought us into Minnesota, which is just as flat and all farms until we got to outside of the Twin Cities.
My family has friends from skating in this area, so we were put up at one their homes. It was nice to be in a house, we sipped some beers, ate some brats, it is MN, nice conversation, which i nodded out a couple of times, not cause the convo was boring but because i was tired and sitting in a comfy chair. Got to sleep in a real bed. It was a very nice pitstop.
