Devil’s Tower in Wyoming is an impressive rock structure with giant vertical grooves on its sides, which make it one of the best crack climbing sites in the world. It is the hardened magma core of a volcano that eroded away and our country’s first national monument. - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
Sunday 08/07/11 Wyoming - Coming into Wyoming from Minnesota and South Dakota, the landscape has changed drastically. We’ve left the flat fields and prairies for rolling hills covered in evergreens. - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...

Saturday 08/06/11 Sturgis, South Dakota I probably saw more bikers tonight than I’ll see for the rest of my life. It’s hard to see in the photo, but that’s a 3 story bar and the balcony on every floor is packed with people. - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
Saturday 08/06/11 Sturgis, South Dakota - The bike rally hasn’t even started yet and Sturgis is already packed! We stopped by to see the spectacle. Residents sell parking spots in their driveways and sit outside in camping chairs drinking beers and watching the procession of motorcycles. - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
On the road from Wall to Mt. Rushmore - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
After hundreds of miles of signs we were curious to see Wall Drug, but it’s really just a kitschy general store with lots of photo open. - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
Us in front of some of the Badlands lunar landscape. Definitely worth a visit. - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
The South Dakota Badlands (not the only Badlands) are pretty awesome. They’re set-up nicely with a 35 mile scenic loop that leads right to wall drug. If you’re planning on spending any amount of time outside your car bring a hat and lots of water. - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
Saturday 08/0/6/11 South Dakota - We’ve been seeing tons of bikers on the road, and last night at the hotel Misha figured out why. Sturgis, the largest motorcycle rally in the world is happening this week. We’ll be driving right by the town as we go from Mt.Rushmore to Devil’s Tower, just a couple days early. No wonder most of the hotels in... - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...

Saturday 08/06/11 Mitchell, South Dakota - Crop art on the Corn Palace. Yep, that’s art made of crop. Specifically corn. Pretty awesome :) - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
Saturday 08/06/11 Mitchell, South Dakota - Can you believe this is the world’s only Corn Palace?? - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
Saturday 08/06/11 Mitchell, South Dakota - Corn palace! This is the largest collection of crop art in the world! We had no idea this was here when we decided to stop in Mitchell. What luck! - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
Saturday 08/06/11 Mitchell, South Dakota - We stopped a few hours short of the South Dakota Badlands in a Ramada off the highway with minigolf in the lobby (pictured). It turns out Mitchell is also the home of the corn palace! Pictures coming soon. - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
Friday 08/05/11 South Dakota - 9th state! Teepee at a rest stop on I-90, somewhere near Laurent, SD. - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
Friday 08/05/11 Fairmont, Minnesota - Awesome sunset, though my phone camera really doesn’t do it justice. The clouds out here are incredible, especially since there’s nothing blocking the view of them. - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
Friday 08/05/11 Fairmont, Minnesota - A damn good Burger, followed by a rainbow. What a night :) - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
Friday 08/05/11 Fairmont, Minnesota - At the Channel Inn restaurant, home of the famous Channel Inn Burger and a beautiful view of Hall lake. You can get a Garden Burger or a Mushroom Burger, but don’t be fooled by the names. They still cone with beef. - http://nyctosf.tumblr.com/post...
