What the poop is The Wall? I had no idea till my buddy Steve informed me. It’s called The Wall drug but that’s a huge understatement. It has its own exit , its own old west main street and although I have no evidence I’m fairly certain its own town. While a trifle isolated there…

Last post ended with goodnight and it’s ending extremely well. Before hiking my last for the day I went to local station to fill up for drive to badlands tomorrow. While not exactly barter gas(see Cabin in the Woods) it was as close as I’ve seen and it was groovy. Large sign on pumps said…

Good morning all woke up a trifle late by that I mean the sun almost up. Exceptionally tired. Eat gas station sandwich (on Naan!!!!) and went to nearby rest stop/trail head Down is easy it’s the up part(always near the end) that is your foil. Lovely and slightly alone. Not as much as I’d prefer…

Slept in till about 2 and went for an early morning hike. Packed up stuff and on to Teddy. Filled up on the road once and it was 3.70 a gallon. Saints be praised!! That was about 20 minutes outside park because it’s beginning of week NP. That being said a family of rather large…

After setting up camp went for a walk thing is i walk oodles and this ain’t that this a hike. Started out nice on river very pleasant Then things specifically the trail started going uphill. First not much but then i made the mistake of looking ahead. Finished that part and crossed a road and…

Just pulled in view is extremely NEATO. Gonna setup camp and then hike.

Didn’t think this would happen in North Dakota in the middle of the day at a convenience store but go figure. I ran to bathroom sat down for #2 and received the much heard about but never experienced the under the door foot tap twice!! Apparently my lack of an answer wasn’t enough so after…

The hike today at Sheyenne National Grassland extremely groovy. All sorts terrine good stretches of hills along with lots of grass(no surprise). Lots of poop as well apparently for local ranchers who have permission. Obviously watching steps is required. For poop and prairie dog homes.

Woke up lateish for me anyway. Round 3 o’clock took bout 10 to pack up and hit the road. My friend Tom sent an updated photo that I posted. Hope springs eternal. Hit the road groovy drive to new campsite with several stops on way. Mostly to the powder room. Currently preparing to hike Sheyenne…

I know it should be home again per the song not alone but I am alone and not at home but my father when I was ten till he passed always said it so seems a trifle apropos. It’s 400 pm and I’m at Union Grove state park South Dakota. It’s rather lovely and am…
