In 2003, Laurel and I went on a week-long camping trip! I kept a journal, and below you will find it transcribed! Because it is a direct transcription, you may find it under-edited and over-rambling. Well, you may find all my writing to be that way, but this is even moreso.
| Day 1: | Fear and Loathing on the home front, Mitchell! | (Warning: Contains metaphor involving McDonald's product) |
| Day 2: | The corn palace, the petrified forest, Wall Drug, the Badlands, Crystal Cavern, The Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, Needles Highway | (Warning: Contains many synonyms for dinosaur dung) |
| Day 3: | A setback, Deadwood, Crazy Horse, Termespheres, Devil's Tower | (Warning: Contains self-pity about a colleagues relative youth) |
| Day 4: | The bighorn mountains, Steamboat Sam, Shell Falls, Emblem, Outside of Yellowstone | (Warning: Contains a Zen Koan) |
| Day 5: | Yellowstone galore | (Warning: Contains Laurel's scary fight with a monster) |
