As we were traveling down the road today, it suddenly occurred to Doug and I that everything that we own, we are currently hauling with us, on us, across the country. EVERYTHING that we own. That's pretty wild! I mean, what a crazy thing! Who does that? Well, apparently, we do. And I think that is freakin' AWESOME! It's such a freeing thing, really. Just hitting the open road and experiencing that untamed and unpredictable adventure called life.

Speaking of life, the past two days have included lots of it! Last night, we camped over in the Badlands, witnessing the most awe-inspiring fire-works display I have EVER SEEN. No lie. And where did this gargantuan pyrotechnic celebration take place? Why, Interior, South Dakota, of course! (pop. 77) To say this was a surreal experience would be a vast understatement. It was DISTURBING how enormous these fireworks were. I think this tiny little town must spent more money on the fourth of july than their entire education budget for the year. Scary. As Doug so aptly put it, "Their teachers are getting paid 6.00 an hour but hey! They've got one hell of a fireworks display!"

Tonight, i sit on the front porch of the town store here at Devil's Tower, Wyoming, stealing their wireless internet while stealthily charging my phone. (This comes after sneaking into the nearby KOA and "illegally showering" in their facilities. I know, I've turned into a thieving renegade. I blame Doug completely.)

Devil's Tower, btw, is amazing. Absolutely breathtaking. As are the cute little prairie dogs that scurry around it's base.

I could say more, but Doug is getting hungry, so I will try and post some pictures of our latest travels!
