The Road Home
April 28, 2012
Ryan and Amanda
fixed a farewell breakfast for Steven and I. Ed joined us. Finished
packing and cleaning, did one last quick hike behind the quad with
Amanda and John, and said my goodbyes to everyone. It was really
hard; these friends feel like family. I then spent some time driving
through the park one last time, since it is so hard to say goodbye,
even knowing I'll be back in a couple months for a few days' stay.
Did a quick hike at Doors, then kept driving through the park towards
Wall. Storm clouds started moving in, and the rain started as I
reached the prairie area. Made a stop for rainy photos at Yellow
Mounds before continuing on towards home.
Thanks so much Jessica for keeping us all informed! Clearly you've had a wonderful experience. I might join you in the Badlands briefly when I drive over to give my workshop in mid-August in Rapid City. Stan
ReplyDeleteYou should come and camp for a night or two! It's not far at all from Rapid, and I can show you some cool spots. Plus dinner at the Wagon Wheel... Hope to see you soon now that I'm back home again.
