Running From Star to Star Until I Drop

I did some writing while I was in Colorado and Utah. Obviously, there is a lot of time for reflection when you go on a 6 day driving excursion. So, here is the first thing I put down. I was still very excited to be having the experience 3 and 4 days in and was well aware that I was loving every moment of the drive and stops. I'm not editing or changing any of this … :

I used to think I was unsatisfied and that was the reason I wanted so much change all the time. I told myself that the real reason I wanted to travel was that I had a restless heart... but I'm starting to realize something else about myself... I really love life and this world. A thought occurred to me in Yellowstone: with a place so beautiful, how could I not want to see it all? With a population so diverse how could I not want to live all over the place? With a mind so dynamic, how could I not want more education? I want to experience, know, and be as much as possible.

I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till i drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion. ― Jack Kerouac

Roadtrip {South Dakota & Wyoming}

I took a lot of pictures. A lot. I'm going to try breaking these down in to digestible chunks, but it's going to take me a few posts AND they will still be long posts.

Today is South Dakota and Wyoming, which includes: Badlands, Black Hills, Mt Rushmore, Shoshone, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton. Most of these were take using my camera, but there are also some phone pictures because I was trying to conserve battery power on my camera since I am an idiot and forgot my charger.
