These are some pictures I took a few weeks ago when Tanya and I drove out to Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana (for a minute), And back through South Dakota. I hope you enjoy them.
This one was from Arches National Monument near Moab, Utah. We got there early in the morning. Well, the gate was open and there was no one around so we went on in like we owned the place...
Another one from Arches. Almost all of the park was like this. Everywhere you looked there was a crazy good view of some kind of rock formation. How did this shit get here?
And another. We thought this one looked like a giant ancient penis. You can use your own imagination, but think about it.
This was actually one of my favorites. This is what we saw at the first turnout we came to when we entered the park. There were actually a bunch of people there. Mostly Germans. I guess they like to get up very early. I can't quite figure that out, but whatever...
This was our cabin at Devil's Tower, Wyoming. Yes, that's the Chevy Volt we drove on the trip. The night before we left I had a dream that it gave out on a mountain pass and we filed off the serial numbers before pushing it off a cliff. In my dream we hitchhiked into a nearby town with all of our shit tied to our backs and bought a Subaru for the rest of the trip. I'm happy to report that the Volt made the trip just fine and lives with us happily to this day. We did get a Subaru when we got home just in case.
A view of Devil's Tower from about a mile away. We had this great cabin at a KOA campground at the base of Devil's Tower. The couple in the cabin next to ours got super stoned and watched reruns of Gilligan's Island on an iPad all afternoon and night. We never saw them. Good for them.
This was Devil's Tower from about 10 miles away on the way back from Hulett, Wyoming. If you don't know about Hulett, then look it up. I can't begin to tell you about Hulett, but I can say that the locals were friendly and very drunk by 2 in the afternoon. They tried to get us to go sightseeing and drive up into the mountains on a logging road, but they decided that it would be a bad idea for everyone, especially us. So they just sold us a bunch of beer and sent us on our way. We may have bought a chicken there, but I'm not sure.
This was a reservoir in South Dakota that serves Rapid City. I can't remember the name, but it looked great so here's a picture of it. Stunning.
We drove through the badlands and this was one of the views we saw. I took over 100 pictures here, but you're not going to see them all. Sorry.
This was one of my favorite views of the badlands. Imagine trying to drive a covered wagon through that shit.
So, in about 8 days we saw Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana (for a minute), and South Dakota. 2400 miles of driving in an electric car. That may seem like a lot, but it was just great. We didn't have reservations anywhere and we just went wherever we wanted. I don't think I've ever had a better vacation in my life.
If you're really interested in seeing more pictures, just let me know. I'll send you a link. If you really don't care, then that's ok too.
