Just a quick blog post to say that I made it to Rapid City, SD this afternoon after a nine hour drive. I’ve been put up at the Hotel Alex Johnson and it’s the oldest hotel I’ve ever been in. (They gave be this oddly shaped piece of metal which allowed me into my room.). Behind the hotel is “Art Alley” which was fun to walk through. An example of the art is attached to this post. Tomorrow I’ll be speaking to, and with, the staff of the Rapid City Public Library. Photos of all the mentioned items and everything else from the trip so far can be found in the trip’s photoset. (Which BTW, includes my .)
