29 September, 2016 (Tommy LeGrand)

The road continues, the bonds between us grow and as a leader? Well as a leader I couldn’t ask for a better group of adventurers… no, friends. Today was awesome, we started out in the Bad Lands for a second morning greeted by an awe inspiring sunrise. After which we all gorged ourselves on some good ole' “Spaceman – thanksgiving stuffing” which was just what I needed to get my furnace rolling. As my furnace began rolling we rolled out of camp and made our way to watch a brief but interesting video at the Bad Lands visitor center followed by a tour and our exit loop. My goodness, words could not describe the views. I’m not too sure pictures could do it much justice either. While taking in these breathtaking sights and even some tid bits of knowledge, both on the signs and from an experienced tourist / guide (the world famous Jeff). Most of us also got to start teaching quick lessons on our Outdoor Ed topics which could use some more practiced timing (haha!). Eventually we made our way, or more so got ripped out of our sightseeing tour, to adventure onwards to the land of 5 cent coffee and free ice water! Yep Wall Drug! A sight to see in itself. We all enjoyed a bit of time away from each other and then made our way back for some more R & R, roads and reading. The change in scenery was pretty immediate from South Dakota to Wyoming and just as breathtaking. Not to mention getting to see Devils Tower from a distance as it grew. As we got in to camp with high spirits, we realized it would be a long night. It was, but I think everyone is excited for tomorrow.
