Day 32:
1 June 2013
Mitchell, SD, to the Badlands, SD
(3 of 3)Jim & I are about half way through our roadtrip! Currently, we’re camping out in Southern California, recharging before we head out to L.A. tomorrow to make our way slowly up and back down the west coast.
About a week ago, we camped in the Badlands in South Dakota and I took some photos that I’m actually pretty happy with. Here’s the rough cut!

While my friends Christa and Jim are on a cross-country road trip, I have the pleasure of walking and playing with their splendid greyhounds. I’ve always loved the breed, but spending quality time alone with these two has intensified my appreciation for the greyhound’s gentleness, playfulness and good nature.
these are literally my dawgs. MY HEART, IT HURTS.

Y PANTS barbara’s song 1982 (by SeagreenSerenade)
Y Pants were one of the weirder more unique bands to come from the No Wave / late 70s early 80s Lower East Side scene. They played mostly toy instruments and were pretty damn awesome, their stuff has an odd uneasy quality in the best possible way.
this album.

‘The man who gets to the top of the tree is forced to realize there is no top and no tree. I was your age when I first grasped that nothing is worth the least effort. It both calmed me and unsettled me. Now it frightens me.’

Itinerary
We’ve gotten our itinerary for the road trip more or less hammered out! Tentative dates that we’ll be hitting each locale are listed below.
We’re hoping to try to get to know each city as well as possible even though we won’t be spending much time in each. Tips on cool places, cool people, etc. will be greatly appreciated!
If there’s an asterisk by a place, it means we don’t know (or know that we know) anyone there and could use a place to crash—put us in touch with your awesome friends with some floor/couch space, yeah yeah?
