We went to South Dakota this weekend, and here are a few thoughts from the trip:
The Black Hills are beautiful! We stayed in a small cabin at a little campground just south of Deadwood. It was very much the kind of country that was often the setting of Louis L'Amour's stories.
Mount Rushmore was awesome...seeing those giant faces, representing four of America's greatest presidents, is almost enough to make you believe America works again.
I don't know what Wyoming's state tree is, but I'm guessing it's the snow fence. I saw more snow fence structures in a few hours' driving in Wyoming than I had seen in the rest of my entire life.
Don't try to find a store that's open anywhere in the Black Hills after 9:00pm...even on a weekend.
If you're ever in Lusk, Wyoming, don't try to eat at the Subway there, especially at 1:45pm on a Sunday afternoon. That's when all 1,500 or so folks in Lusk go to eat lunch.
Another thought from this weekend. Tiger in a playoff at the U.S. Open, against another semi-no-name who has never won a major? Yawn...either we have another one-off winner, or we have Tiger. Way to go, USGA...further proof of how "compelling" your little tournament has been the past several years. I'm glad I didn't waste any time watching it.
