From Fargo to Yellowstone
If you ever find yourself driving from Fargo to Yellowstone, stop at the Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and just look at the Badlands. They are pretty bad, alright. The best thing about the park is that the park wardens aren’t too concerned with safety, and if you want to hop over the fence to see what the other side looks like, they are ok with that, and will even loan you their binoculars, and point out wild things in the badlands. I saw a buffalo snoozing, out in the open! Although it was a pretty magnificent sight, it is no wonder that people were able to hunt them so—I think that Darwin had a rule for creatures that take siestas in the mid-afternoon, out in the open.
We’re now staying in Billings, which is just outside of Yellowstone national park. Tomorrow, we’ll be driving through Yellowstone, and hopefully spending the night in Salt Lake City. After that, it is Davis-Land for me, and there will only be pictures of hippies and lab-mates.

You should check out that great salt lake around there. I hear it's even saltier than the ocean, making it one of the best places to be if an alien army of giant slugs attacked earth. Unless they also stumbled across clothing on their way to developing interstellar travel, but I think that's pretty unlikely...
