Waking up in Dodge City, KS the team decided that we should
use this day a positioning opportunity. We left Dodge City heading north.
Making our way through Kansas there weren’t many towns and if there were, they
were very small with signs of poverty. Populations were often small and towns
mostly consisted of a gas station, a possible local market, and a court house. Traveling
into Nebraska, the sand hills soon made an appearance, making for a beautiful
landscape. These hills continued throughout the entire west half of the state
ending as we reached the northern portions of Nebraska. As we entered South
Dakota we noticed a change in the type of soil, from NE sand to SD stone. The
black hills and Mount Rushmore are the main attractions for this state and are
extremely beautiful. However, I did not get to witness Mount Rushmore.
When we reached the hotel I had to privilege to meet a couple from the 6th generation of the Crazy Horse Tribe. They told us a bit about their past and their challenges with other tribes. I absolutely love getting to know more about different types of cultures and environments, and being able to better understand someone else' view on life.
