Hondo does Easy Rider 2010

[Beckster]

In Iowa City and westbound tomorrow morning. I am getting a new rear tire installed in Sioux City tomorrow and I'll see how far I can push into South Dakota. I'm hoping I can get close to the turn off to take the route into the Badlands NP so i can do that, Mt. Rushmore and Devil's Tower on Tuesday. That leaves almost all of Wyoming and Yellowstone for Wednesday.

Paralleled the Mississippi up from St. Louis today. River is right at flood stage so it was impressive...almost like a big lake. The breeze coming off of it was welcome too.

I went to the Badlands when I was young. Really beautiful area. Yellowstone was impressive, too. I only wish we had spent more time out there.
