Day 49 - Deadwood, SD to Albert Lea, MN

Days on the road: 49.
Miles today: 562.
Miles to date: 11,123.


Disappointment, thy name is Deadwood, SD. I had high hopes that were far from met on my visit. It would seem as the only way to present American history to Americans is via a Disney filter. It was nothing like the HBO series of the same name.

I did, however, carve canyons in the Black Hills for the first part of the morning, but then it was onto the interstate to make miles. This was the most boring drive of my life. Fortunately, the ipod was loaded and I listened as the BBC's Melvyn Bragg lead discussions about The Indian Rebellion of 1857 and brain function and development in infants. So there. There will be no pictures today.
