Wearing our purple "we got laid" leis and with our rental car (free upgrade for the newly weds!) packed with wedding gifts and luggage, we left Johnstown and drove about 6 hours to Custer, South Dakota. Trust me though- we weren't sideways. Feel free to comment and tell me how to fix this.

We bought gas in an old trading outpost with a population under 200. We stood out.
We saw the landcape change over time.... from completely flat fields to completely unpopulated land dotted with buttes, rolling hills and trees.
The East-Coasters visiting Colorado for the wedding teased me when I insisted that Northern Colorado had been largely developed over the past few years, because I remember when there was "nothing" between Boulder and Ft. Collins. I laughed when we drove through Wyoming.
We were stuck in a little bit of road construction watching this amazing rainstorm develop. Outside the opposite car window the sky was still blue and sunny. The air smelled heavy with rain, manure, and farmland.
