Boys and girls, i'm back to the blogging world. We're cruising through wyoming now, and the weather has finally decided to go easy on us, and so we're now back to some blue skies...You're my boy blue!! So now to the title of this post...the Black hills! We set up shop at Lake Sheridan in a gorgeous campsite, right next to the lake.
OHHH!!! Eli is back on the board in the leaving shit on top of the car game, by leaving his sweatshirt up there. In other leaving your shit on top of the car news, Marshall also left his sweatshirt on top of the car a few days ago. The count now stands: Streaks = 3, Marshall = 1, Eli = 2, Drew = 1. The reason we all just had a chance to leave stuff on top of the car is because we just made a pit stop at the world's largest Mineral Springs. The place smelled worse than one of Tarik's flatulent episodes and is probably on par to the smells we would be graced with if drew ate a block of cheese without there being a lactaid within 500 miles. Despite the smell, a 20 minute relaxation session in an outdoor mineral pool was exactly what the doctor ordered. On a side note, my skin feels great.
Ok, back to the happenings in the black hills. Like Drew mentioned Mount Rushmore was smaller than expected, but exciting anyways. Not wanting to pay the 10 dollar entrance fee, we said we would turn around in the parking lot. Instead, we stopped for a little picture session that ended up with us being chased out of the park by a guy driving a golf cart who looked like Colonel Sanders.
next we made it to the Wind Caves; the fouth longest cave in the world. At one point our guide put out all the lights and we got to see what it was like to be in pure darkness..drew got a little handsy. All in all, the caves were pretty gnarly.
back at the ranch, we were finally able to throw out some lines into the lake...we had hoped to catch enough to cook up for a dinner. We fell a tad bit shy of that goal with eli netting a small Perch on the first day that we grilled and each enjoyed a tasty morsel of. The fish kept biting the next morning, and we were able to take in a few more unsuspecting fishies.
last night, our last in the hills, we cooked up a feast of pasta with veggies and buffalo meat sauce. I guess we were in the gaming mood, and we suddenly found 40's strapped to our hands, and drew was able to show off his freakish ability to tape two 40's to his hands by himself. Drew came up with the idea to share our most embarrasing moments, which quickly turned into everybody sharing their pants pooping stories...we'll leave those up to your imagination.
On to the Tetons...still alive

The figures on Mt Rushmore are 60 feet tall, guys, maybe you shoulda gotten a little closer. Did you know that the original Rushmore plan was for carved figures from the waist up, which would have included the presidential waistcoats, buttons, lapels and cravats? But the budget ran out so they had to stop at their necks. And did you know that we (the royal We, that is) stole the land from the Lakotas? just one of the many thefts We committed on our Westward campaign of which you young folks are now enjoying the fruits.
You may think I know all this because our education was so much more rigorous in the olden days, but actually I gleaned it from 1) Wikipedia, and 2) North by Northwest. You have seen North by Northwest, haven't you?! a swe-e-e-t classic and Hitchcock's best, imho. Hitchcock. Alfred Hitchcock. C'mon, guys.

BTW, you were in S Dakota on the day of the final Democratic primary but I didn't notice you conducting any exit polls, taking advantage of the opportunity to check the pulse of Middle America on voting day. I guess you were just too busy chasing tarps and leaving things on the top of the car. What is this leaving things on the top of the car business, anyway? I never do that and I'm way older...
Oh man, now I gotta type in Word Verification to post this ridiculous thing; I never get Word Verification on the first try, do you? The letters run together and the g's look like q's and vice versa and... Well, here goes.
