Oh Great Plains, You're so funny

We're in South Dakota now. The going has no exactly been easy so far. The engine has been running hotter than it should because of the trailer which is...not that big of a deal yet but when the gauge is getting close to the red it isn't a comfortable feeling.

The big problem was the fucking win. Trying to drive the Jeep and trailer through a 25-35 MPH headwind was like trying to keep a box of rocks afloat with a box of rocks. That trailer is the least aerodynamic thing ever. Luckily the wind did let up as we drove out of Minnesota, which allowed us to go faster and made the engine run cooler as well.

Now it's almost time for the mountains.

The Great Plains seemed to be the strangest portion of land ever created. The entire way through South Dakota and Minnesota I've seen over and over strange advertisements for 'wall drug', including everything from T-rex to cracked out roosters. Also there was the giant sculpture park, featuring the 'world's largest bull head'.

Well, here we go again.
