Just 2 Guys, Having a Good Time - 14 hours in the Camry

As much as Ryno is my good bro, only so much fun can be had in a full days car ride with him. For inspiration, we checked out  these guys . Those of you lucky enough to know my boy, you have likely recently learned that he is anti antiperspirant deodorant; he’s trying to be more natural. I applaud his wanting to be more natural. That’s something that I strive to do, in moderation. To say that his new deodorant is worthless is giving it too much credit. For all I know, it’s a stick of b.o. And so to hopefully remedy that in our future long car rides, I came up with a helpful driving technique.

One thing that really impressed me about this part of the country is how popular wind turbines have become. Were it not for all the rain, I would have some better pictures. There were several hot spots in Minnesota where we counted upwards of 30, with more being built.

Once all the rain passed, the clouds started to break and gave way to some cool lighting

Unfortunately, other than the Welcome to South Dakota sign, this is where the pictures end for today. (Note: SD Welcome sign is from when we left the state)

We didn’t actually stop driving until almost 11:30pm MT. Miles and miles of driving on US90 at legal speeds nearing 80 mph, we had covered a large portion of the country and were exhausted. Our original plan had been to get to The Badlands that night to camp, but reconsidered as we didn’t want to miss the views we would get on the drive in after having seen so much flat, boring United States of America. So instead, we found a random campsite just off the highway an exit before and pitched a quick tent. Ryan had no problem falling asleep as he was basically asleep the last hour or so of the drive. But once I settled down, I was lights out too.
