Day 1:


A nice picture of 'Ass Crotch' Attema just after leaving Shaft's house.	The Missouri River near Chamberlain, SD.

Colin driving the LeSabre somewhere in SD.	Me, Colin, and Shaft at Al's Oasis.

Here we are by the 80ft. dinosaur at Wall Drug. Of course, I managed to only get the foot of the thing in the picture.	Shaft and Colin on the elephant slide by the 80ft dinosaur. Shaft looks triumphant which is funny because he almost falls over and loses a shoe when he slides to the bottom.

I'm riding a jackalope at Wall Drug. Woohoo.	Walter, the toy ducky and trip mascot, gettin' some.
