The Drive, Part 1

Today took me from Salt Lake to Custer, SD (approx 640 miles). The Prius averaged about 48 mpg and I think I put in a total of $40 worth of gas to get here (yay!). I was rained on pretty much the whole time but the drive was still pretty enjoyable. To make sure I get the trip started off on the right foot I decided to stay at a hotel (this one has a pool/workout room/etc...). I don't feel all that tired or sore and I'm looking forward to getting in a good workout. I'll post some pics from the drive later on.

This is a picture from my room. The place backs onto a national forest and look, deer!


Mt Rushmore at night on May 9th, 2008 was a bad idea. It was totally foggy so I couldn't see the faces at all, there were deer everywhere (deer+fog=bad!) and then on the way home it starting sleeting like crazy! However, this is my favorite pic I managed to take:



This one made me do a double take. Does anyone else think this picture is, sort of, awkward?

At Mt. Rushmore did you find all the combinations of 6, 4, 7, and 9? :)
