Day 308 - Das Badlands

Revisited the Badlands today. It was cold, rainy and windy and I couldn't have had a better time. No people and plenty of exploring. Plus the clouds made for some cool photos. Felt great to be out of the car and stretching my legs.

Day 307 - Whoopsies

No phone. Starbucks selfie time [V0]

My original intention for this post was to complain about losing 4 hours of driving because I forgot to take my climbing gear out of Jenna's car. An annoying setback, but I powered through it. Drove a total of 13 hours. However, I'm now sitting at Starbucks outside of Mt. Rushmore park with a broken phone and therefore no photo evidence of Day 307. It survived a 20 foot fall onto solid rock earlier in the year, but today it fell 2 feet and decided it was done with life. Debating whether I should get it fixed/replaced right away, or go sans phone for a bit to get the true road trip experience. If I choose the latter, I'll need to buy an atlas and find a solution for music.

Day 306 - Devil's Lake

Bouldered in Devil's Lake with Jenna! Although it was extremely difficult to find specific boulders scattered about the talus fields, the weather was amazing and we had a great time hiking and exploring the park. Later met up with her friend Heather and checked out some cool bars in the neighborhood.

Day 305 - Brunch and Beach

Great day exploring Milwaukee! The sun finally came back out. Riley led the tour around the beach and then the dog park.

Day 304 - Lakefront Brewery

Jenna and I headed to Milwaukee to meet up with Emily. Got the full tour of the city and ended with an awesome tour of Lakefront Brewery. They make some tasty brews. Oh and fried cheese curds are to die for.
