"If there's still stuff to look at, you're not to the Midwest yet" -Meghan's dad
It's morning now on Day 2 of tour, as we progress through the astoundingly beautiful Montana landscape, uttering varying permutations of the phrase "guys look how pretty it is!" over and over again to one another. This place is amazing. How can you you look out across the landscape of Montana and not think it's special? It's like we're on tour through The Shire or something.
The windshield of this vehicle is thoroughly caked with bugs. We're not surprised, but it's still quite a collection. Last night Meghan and I literally mistook the tapping of bug bodies for the sound of rainfall. Gross!
We got up before 7am, showered and got going. We have to make it to Pierre, SD by early evening, and approximately 9 hours of driving to get there, it's time to go. We just passed the Crazy Mountains.
Random thoughts:
* "Brewing up a big poop" is one of dirtiest things you can say. Also, Day 2 of Tour 2009 is when shit-based humor began.
* At least we don't look like a band in this Suburban. Hopefully it will keep break-ins from happening.
* "I love us. Why are we so awesome?" - Val
* This is waaay better than work.
* "Rapey" should be a word. In fact, it is.
* We have invented a driving game, called Cop Or Old Dude? When you are on the freeway, and begin to approach a wide sedan from behind, you must use your knowledge, wisdom and skills to determine if you're about to pass an officer of the law, or just some old dude on a roadtrip. It's fun I swear.
* Those wind-power things - what are they called? Turbines? Windmills? WTF dudes? (Actually we already looked this up since pondering this question - they are indeed turbines.)
