I drove through Theodore Roosevelt National Park today. The badlands were pretty cool. Prairie dogs and buffalo. What else do you need? Other than that there is not much to report today. Driving mixed in with a little more driving, that's about it.
Although it is still early. I still have three hours till midnight. I decided to call it an early night though because I wanted some time to breathe and read. I'm currently reading Guns, Germs, and Steel. Oh and also The Fault in our Stars. I've had it for awhile but it hasn't been a priority. Augustus just got word back from Peter Van Houten, the author of An Imperial Affliction and he gave Hazel his email address. She has composed and sent her own letter to Mr. Houten to try and get answers that were never addressed in the book. Now she is waiting nervously for a reply. It was at this point that I realized it was too dark outside on the bench at a rest stop outside of Bismarck to keep reading. So I turned in for the night and began typing this post... On my phone.
I will probably finish the chapter and then start reading Guns Germs and Steel. Jared Diamond is tactfully trying to asses why some cultures developed all sorts of technology or "cargo" while others even to this day remain in the Stone Age. It is quite the hefty read but worth it.
You know, I am really having a great time out here. And I just wanted to say thank you, all of you who are following along with my trip. You guys are the best!
Good night.
