A week has now past since I left Mobridge, and you wouldn't believe how much I miss it! But I am having fun here, on vacation, and it is nice to have time to relax (More like being un the run and spending hours un end in this [STUPID] RV)... But it is nice to get to see all the places we have been talking about in History and that people have told me about.. Seeing familiar and unfamiliar places! It is nice to be with my family (most of the time)! Well back to my vacation! I have in the past week seen more places than I thought was possible in a month, been in 5 different states (South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Utah) and learned a bunch!
Last Monday (the 4th) (in the morning), we left Mobridge and heated to Badlands, South Dakota which is a National Park, it is an old Lava landscape.. It was like a desert there, it was so freaking hot and there was almost no wind! After we had driven around for about 4 hours and I had bought my indispensable magnet (I collect magnets from every place I have been, and I have done it the last 4 year; which collection includes magnet from all over Europe and now also the United States), we headed to the Black Hills, where we slept at a Campground near Rapid City!
Tuesday (the 5th) we started the day by going to the mall, "just" to buy a new lens to my Camera, but I (my parents) ended up buying a t-shirt, a tank-top, and a pair of tennis shoes too.. We than went to Cosmos, which is a place in the Black Hills, where gravity is supposed to be "wrong"! After about 11/2 at Cosmos we headed to Mount Rushmore, even though I had been there before it was still like being in a Movie, going there, because it is a place you see on TV so often! We than went to the a Campground in Hill City, and got ready to go out for Dinner, and than to go to Crazy Horse.. At Crazy Horse (the Native American's version of Mount Rushmore) we saw this lightning show, where they told the story of Crazy Horse and had a protector showing pictures on the actually memorial..
Wednesday (the 6th) we spent in Coster State Park looking at Buffalos and just driving around the Hills. That night we slept at a campground by Deadwood, SD..
Thursday (the 7th) the day I had to leave South Dakota! In the morning we went to the falls by Spearfish, and than we were heated to Wyoming.. We drove to Devils Tower, to see what is just a famous Rock Formation than looks like a tower.. At night we drove to Sheridan where we ate at the famous Sheridan Inn, where Buffalo Bill stayed back in the day (I most admit, I had no idea who he was at first either, some famous Cowboy or something like that.) We stayed the night at a Campground close to Sheridan.
Friday (the 8th) we were now heated to Yellowstone National Park, and on the way we stopped in Cody, WY, a town that is famous for something to do with Buffalo Bill (again!), where he apparently stayed at the Irma Inn, where we had to get something to drink (HAHA!) In Cody I bought a Cowboyhat (yes this time I payed, because my mother refused to), I am not sure why I spent 33 dollars on it, but I wanted to prove I could be a little redneck! We also stopped in Little Big Horn, MT, the place where that Indian vs. White battle was back in the day! Late at night we arrived at Yellowstone, at a campground without WiFi (disaster!!)
Saturday, and Sunday the (the 9th and 10th) we spent both days in Yellowstone (where I off course bought a magnet, hihi) and where we saw everything from Mountain Bluebirds to Chipmunks, to Grizzly Bears, to Coyotes, to Mooses, to Hot Springs, to Geysers, to Water Falls (the once we saw in Spearfish didn't even come close, it made we wonder why we even stopped in Spearfish), to ya what didn't we see? We saw black bears, squirrels. eagles and buffalo too! It is hard to explain how amazing there was, and cold! It freaking snowed, in freaking June! Well all I can say is GO THERE, and bring a coat!
Monday (the 11th) after spending the night in Yellowstone we where now heated to Grand Teton National Park to see the famous Mountains! after only spending an hour there we where once again un the road, this time on the way to Idaho, and than to Utah (all we pretty much did all day was drive) and we are now at a Campground in Utah by Bear Lake known as the Caribbean of the Rockies, and tomorrow we are heated to some "Outlet town" by Salt Lake City, which equals more shopping <3!!!
And for you who things I should upload some pictures, I will say that I am to impatient and that the will come at some point either in Las Vegas, when we are gonna stay at a real hotel and not a campground or when I get home in the end of the month!
Well anyway, time for bed! Sleep Tight/good morning to the people in Denmark! I'll will now finally turn of my computer and go to bed here in the RV at the Campground in Garden City, Utah! Good night!
