So here's a landscape of the Badlands, or the Mal Terre, called by the French when they came through. There is no water to speak of, apart from in campsites and there are rattlesnakes, tricksy hills and its pretty barren, basically, not somewhere you'd want to come through with a waggon back in the day.
Prarie Dog, these little critters are funny and wag their tail when they'res signs of danger!
Obviously, me at Mount Rushmore, South Dakota. The information, exhibits and general layout of the area are brilliant and strongly contrast the gaudy neon Keystone town, which is a few hundred feet below it.
Chatted to a park ranger who was kind enough to give me her knife, as well as advice on how to
avoid getting stalked by a mountain lion. If it knows you can see it, it won't try and sneak up on you.

Lance, on our second day together. Lance and I cycled together for over a week and a half, it was great fun, but alas, he's going south, and I, North.
Tony Adams, a man that has cycled the continental divide 8 times and has spent 10 years cycling. He does summer jobs then cycles for the rest. He covers 20-30 miles a day and has a 500lb load!!!!
