This is the Day Three update of the CC and JT BAT. Here are the Day One and Day Two updates.
Episode 167 is from our hotel room in Fort Pierre, South Dakota, and we are bushed. Day Three of the BAT was yesterday, all eleven hours, and we started north from Casper, Wyoming. When we lived in Nebraska in the Stone Age, the phrase was “nothing between here and Canada except for barbed wire.” They were right. Long stretches of road in both WY and SD where there is nothing but bushes. Not even trees.
The drive was still very interesting, and we made two of what could have been a dozen stops. Devils Tower is both amazing and a flashback to our youth. I cannot accurate describe the impact on this (and many other) teenage geeks when I saw Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Before we got there, I thought the whole thing was probably an overinflated Hollywood special effect. Nope. It lived up to its hype.
We stopped at Wall Drug in Wall, South Dakota because the Jedi ghost image of Justin Scarred told us to. Fun place with all sorts of shops and pictures and good food.
We’re about to hit the road for Day Four, so let me give you some clicks. Our hashtags for this tip continue to be #ccandjt and #bat2024. Shortcuts:
