Back on the road!!!! EP 10

After being stationary for eight or nine months we are finally hitting the road. We are very ready to go. We have spent the last eight months with family which has been really great and we've completely renovated a camper and now we are ready to spend our summer in the mountains. So first stop is Mount Rushmore and then after that we're headed up to Banff and we're really excited to spend our five-year anniversary there but you don't know what you have until it's gone. So we're ready to be in the mountains again. Yeah we're both kind of nervous but very ready so we're gonna leave here in about 10 minutes once the rain dies down. Ollie's ready to go too. Yeah he is. We've got the jeep hooked up and we're ready to go. This year is going to be a lot better and more comfortable since we have the jeep. We're really looking forward to having it on the road now. We stopped at a Lubs because Tyler is dumping our tanks. After almost two years of living on the road Tyler has not once made me have to do this and that's a good man. We just got some gas. It's a very hot day today. Got the generator running and both AC units running here. Let's go to Omaha. Oh that's so exciting. We just got to where we're gonna be spending the night tonight. Tyler got us here safely. Yep. I actually fell asleep for a little bit. Did you really? Yeah I was so, I don't know why, I was so tired. You were knocked. Yeah I was. Ollie actually ditched me and he went under the couch for a bit. You went under the couch. But we actually are staying at a Camping World. We asked for permission first. Tomorrow we will drive across the state of South Dakota so that'll probably be like a four hour drive to the Black Hills. It'll be fun though when we get there. All right we are leaving Camping World now. We're officially heading the road. So hungry. I'm starving. We got to Lubs a little bit ago. We're actually staying at one of the locations that's actually an RV resort which is pretty cool. We paid about $40 and we have hookups so we have AC tonight which is wonderful because it's really hot. So I got some Subway. I got some Godfather's Pizza and we're gonna sit here and we're going to enjoy some Friday Night Lights. See how he doesn't do this to me, he only does this to you. Is that your first time trying a nitro? Yeah. It is pretty good. You need to learn how to make this. I think you need really expensive equipment to do that. It's really good. Well this morning Madison went inside Lubs and took a shower and we got some coffee. Obviously she got a nitro which is really good. Today we're headed to see some prairie dogs. I guess there's a place, I don't know what they call it, a prairie dog farm or something where you can go and feed the prairie dogs. That's been Madison's dream. It's been on her bucket list but we're gonna make some breakfast and get on the road. I think it's like two hours so we'll be there pretty shortly. Full time, neutral. Okay, let's try it out. Drive to test it, shut it off, put it in park, and ready to go. We are out here fulfilling Madison's lifelong dream of feeding a prairie dog. They just, I want it to eat from my hand. I don't know if they will, they seem a little timid. I bet too many people try to grab them. This little, there's a baby prairie dog. Yeah, he got a little closer. I have hope and my bag keeps scaring him so I think that if I just crack them all open already, yeah, then he won't get scared. It's a big old prairie dog. The only downside about coming into small places like this is having to unhook just to fit. Well that's only because somebody was parked in front of us. Yeah that's true and I didn't want to, I couldn't really do a good loop right there so, but we can pull forward and hook up and then drive out this way. We are stopped for the day. We were going to stay at a Walmart but then there were no overnight parking signs everywhere so we are now at a Pilot J's and we're parched near some trailers. Time to get this leveled out. Yeah. And I'm gonna start on making us some dinner. Oh you're so strong. You win. We are about to hit the road. We're going to Route Mushmore. Okay, Mount Rushmore. Going to Mount Rushmore. And then we're gonna go to Devil's Tower after that. Oh, Ollie. Ollie's excited. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed at Mount Rushmore so we'll have to stay in the RV. You're not fitting here buddy, I'm sorry. Good job buddy. Pee on the sign. He's like I own it now, it's mine. Just saw Mount Rushmore, what do you think? It is, I already like expected it to be small because you told me it was going to be small. Yeah. But it was a pretty neat experience and to learn the history and stuff was really cool. Surprisingly no one died building that, which is crazy. 400 people. I guess that's a good thing. Well yeah, it's a good thing. I was just surprised to learn that no one died. That was probably the coolest thing. Yeah, I didn't know we're kind of in an open field but I'm just really tired. We're gonna take the next four days to relax, get some work done so that we can continue on towards Maine.
