Good Morning from South Dakota

09:50 AM, September 21, 2008

The sleep fairy did not visit my tent last night, but damn, the wind fairy did. I guess I did a good job pounding the stakes in because the wind failed to rip the tent up like it was trying to! Speaking of tents, here is proof I can put one up, plus a pretty view of my camp ground.

So, yesterday I walked around the campsite taking pictures, out of boredom. A few came out to my liking. Below, is yet another reason you should buy a Canon Elph. :)

They had swings there. :)

I went for a walk to take more pictures when an awesome group invited me over to their camp. They were all friends and family from FedEx. They shared with me their beer, bratwurst with homemade sour kraut, and homemade Irish Cream. Total goodness. Best of all, they were fun to hang with and super nice. One of the guys, Bender, keeps up the site ArizonaCivilWar.com, I’m posting it here so I can remember to check it out again later. (They’re hiking Harney Peak today, which I might want to check out on another trip out here.)


I even managed to stumble home at the late hour of 10pm. :) This trip has seriously turned my clock around. I used to go to bed at 2-3am and wake up at 11am, but now I’m hitting the sack when the sun goes down and waking when it comes up. I guess that’s how it was back in the day before electricity.

Well, see ya around, I’m going to Crazy Horse and who knows where else, but who knows if I’ll have wi-fi access, or electricity since this battery only lasts like 40 minutes.

Its always cool when you meet other people while camping! It happens quite a lot and you can get to know some good people that way.

I am glad you’re having a good time, and getting your sleeping schedule back to non-vampire.

Yeah, mom emailed me saying, “So my daughter does speak to strangers. :-)” It’s a learning process.

It is 8:30pm right now and I’m already thinking of sleeping. Crazy.
