We are driving to Yellowstone on the 28th. Can't wait for that drive across South Dakota! It will truly be a test of our family's compatibility.

I'm trying to figure out if it's better or worse than the drive across Nebraska. So far I think it's slightly better just because there's some mountains in Western SD.

Yellowstone is fun, but there's a lot of driving there too. I think we cranked out almost 400 miles just driving around the park over three days.

Make sure you bring your running shoes. Running at 8000 feet is a trip. :-)

Was thinking about doing some trail running. Being from the flat lands of MN, it should be very fun. Whish I could fit my bike in the car; but I would have to leave the kids at home.............hmmmmmmm.

I've done the Omaha-Cheyenne drive hundreds of times over the years and it's pretty boring.

I've done the Omaha-Sioux Falls-Rapid City drive a few times and it's just as, if not more, boring. But you can stop at Wall Drug and the Corn Palace and a couple other well-advertised sites along the way. I would recommend it.

Everyone tells us to stop at Wall Drug. Is it some kind of joke? What the heck is really there?

I've been there it is really a lot of fun but kind of hard to explain. It's like strip mall meets historic theme park.

Indeed. With the wife and rug rats out of town, I have no excuse for not getting caught up. Yesterday was The Cold War: A New History, the day before that was A Military History of World War II. My eyes hurt.

Hey y'all. I'll assume Ms. Yanti won't be seeing pyrotechnics tonight (note: I didn't say you wouldn't have "fireworks", totally different context), as with those outside of the U.S., but the rest of us should have some entertainment tonight. I'm looking forward to drunken rednecks lighting this drought-afflicted region on fire with their fireworks. I'm planning on standing on the roof with a hose and a margarita (the GF's favorite drink, and she's mixing tonight). Heck, it might make for an amusing movie poster.

Yea, it is a Lifetime Diamond fitness club. Just found out about the beer at the pool on their website. We pay way too much in monthly fees; but perhaps it will begin to payoff with the beer! I am guessing plastic cups; but I'll take it.

by "hose" do you mean ...

I would be the one setting the pyrotechnics off tonight, but we did have them.
