Well, so far we've been to South Dakota, Washington, California, and now Utah. We've completed more than half of our 7,000 mile trip, and haven't hit a single deer yet. We have seen quite a few on the side of the road, though, both living and not. Thanks everyone for the letters of reference, who knows why the Army want them.
An interesting thing happened in South Dakota. On the way there we saw about 2 billion billboards for a place called Wall Drug, just outside of Keystone, where Mt. Rushmore is. We decided to stop and take a look, and it was kind of a Ripley's Believe it or Not meets a variety store. Anyway, while we were there, someone approached us and asked us if we wanted to take a survey concerning our experience there. The survey was the next day in the city we were staying at, so I said sure. The survey took about an hour and a half and was a recorded thing where she asked questions about my mind associations with different aspects of Wall Drug. Anyway, at the end they paid me $100 and gave us 5 tickets to a nearby water park. It ended up paying for most of the hotel costs. We thought it was funny, like something that could only happen to me.
Just three more weeks until we're off to Germany!
