Since we could not see Rushmore lit by the night, we were hoping to at least have a decent day time visit, but the forecast didn’t bode well. It was supposed to start cloudy but turn rainy pretty soon. We left very early and reached there by 9 am. There were already [...]

Today was a total washout. Our planned agenda was to visit the Badlands National Park and the Minuteman Missile national Historic site (a nuclear missile launch control facility from the Cold war days). Both were adjacent to each other and after visiting both, we were to drive on to Rapid City for [...]

So, we embarked on our two week cross country road-trip today. It was a "failure to launch" story – we had to delay it by a day. This also meant that we had to cut out the first leg of the trip since we were late to begin. I feel very ill [...]
