We woke up far too early this morning only to be pushed out of the hotel by 8 a.m. Before leaving, we said our farewells to Mindy Cooper which brought about a lot of tears (especially in the male population). After barely escaping Minneapolis, we headed west along the southern edge of Minnesota on our way to South Dakota.

Prior to leaving the state, we decided it would be a good idea to stock up on food before we spent our first nights of tent camping. Everybody seemed to be under the impression that they could survive the next few days on mainly bagels and peanut butter… we shall see how this works out. Soon after we entered South Dakota, the sky let lose all its fury on our convoy. We almost decided to turn and go home until Julie gave us a pep-talk and basically called us a bunch of babies. The rain continued for almost three hours and it finally cleared up as we were reaching the Badlands.

When we arrived at the camp spot, we set up our tents and ate some supper. We then went exploring through the local buttes which were super slippery and hard to navigate safely. Soon after all this was done, a blanket of darkness came out of nowhere and we were confined to using our headlamps. Then we sat down and wrote this blog.
