With some time off and no commitments, I turn to the Black Hills and surrounding prairie to just get out there. Plenty of amazing roads and near-roads all over, but I focused on the Western Black Hills around Jewel Cave National Monument and the Southern Prairie south of Edgemont.
On bike, on foot, behind the wheel. Several hundred miles, one way or another, over a few days.
Got out there. Got lost. Got stuck. Got tired. Got thirsty. Got back.
Cobwebs cleared.
