Dad said, "Jordan, we're going on vacation next week."
I said, "Really? Where?"
"Out West. Two weeks"
"We're driving the Orange Gremlin out West?"
"Yes."
This is where I'm going to slowly try to piece the trip back together. Now that I look back, we saw some crazy shit. It was pretty rad.
corn palace, 603 N Main St, Mitchell, SD (on 90 west of sioux falls.)
wall drug, 510 Main St, Wall, SD
mount rushmore, south dakota -south of sturgis so we maybe hit that first?
crazy horse (8 miles from mt. rushmore between Custer and Hill City)
sturgis, south dakota, DURING BIKE WEEK! This was before it got super popular.
badlands, south dakota (south east of sturgis)
a ride in some dudes rickety helicopter near/over the badlands, south dakota
black hills SD
homestake gold mine near Lead, South Dakota, closed in 2002. directions: From Interstate 90 Take Hwy 85 (Exit 17) south off I-90 towards Deadwood. Once you reach Deadwood, Hwy 85 turns into Hwy 14A. Stay on Hwy 14A through Deadwood - it will take you straight to Lead, SD. Once in Lead, you will take a left at the first stop light. Stay on this road - it will take you down Historic Main Street.
I lost my swatch watch in spearfish wyoming at a diner
devils tower, wyoming off hwy 90
yellowstone, way west of cody wyoming. slept in the car
south, maybe hit idaho, i remember salt lake city, eventually hit hwy 15 thru utah. The battery boiled over, so he just didn't turn the car off until we could find a new one. We continued onto the
grand canyon, AZ north rim, then south rim
drove thru colorado so we probaly went back up 15 to 70 east home.
I threw an anonymous site together in 2004 as sort of a repository of raw notes, stories, ideas and pictures. I kept my name off the site so that I could really let loose and say anything I wanted.
Four years later I realized that:
A) I didn't have anything that needed to be anonymous.
B) Few people stumbled upon the site.
C) Most who did promptly left.
D) The whole thing was damn ugly and difficult to navigate.
It was time for a change.
I took out the trash, spit shined the leftovers and did my best to turn it into a typical, self-serving, narcissistic, personal shrine to myself. Don't you just love it?
If so, be sure to hit the contact page and let me know what you think. Feel free to tell me how neat I am and how amazing and life changing you found my website. No, really, do it. Now.
Please? Seriously. Maybe we can like meet up and hang out or something. I like lunch. In fact, I eat lunch almost every day. What's that? You eat lunch, too? See, we have so much in common. I knew we'd be pals! I'm so glad you contacted me via my website.
