If the last several days have gone as planned, I have driven up north from Colorado into northern Wyoming, camped for a couple of days, driven back south into the path of eclipse totality, witnessed a total eclipse for the first time in my life, then headed into South Dakota, a state I've never been to before, to spend the night and reflect on my adventures.
As I write this (several days ahead of time), I'm deeply excited. There's a way that the world has been new to me this summer. I am excited to take that newness to new places.
I grew up in South Dakota. Don’t know that it’s relevant, except I know of some good makeout spots.
All right then. Road Trip 2018: Badlands, Black Hills and Makeouts.
