Rapid City, SD and the surrounding areas-
On my way into Rapid City, I stopped for a quick look at Devil’s Tower (1), which is certainly a sight to see. But got in on the first night to Leah and her family, who took me out to see Mt. Rushmore (2). Leah’s dad tried to take a few proportion shots of us that weren’t working out as well as we would have liked compositionally, but we had a ball anyways. Saw George by looking through a rock (3) and a billy goat enjoying the sights and grass (4).
We climbed Harney Peak (5) and soaked in the view over lunch and a cliff.
Tried to go through a 8.5 by 24 in cement block testing ability to go though a spelunking cave. You can see by the veins in my hand (6) I was trying really hard to get unstuck. We did go on a lantern tour of a cave however (7), which greatly amused my inner child.
We drove through Custer State Park (8) and saw some buffalo (ie driving through two herds) and had a little run-in with a young bull. Entered and left by way of the Needles Highway (9). Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see Iron Mountain, but I’ll just save that for next time.
And from there, I took off from SD and headed north to Bismark and North Dakota’s plains.

Two official announcements

2) I do NOT take requests for video essay topics. Please stop flooding my inbox.

Wes Anderson is simply one of the most exciting directors in cinema today. His movies are always visually stunning and his stories thought provoking and funny. This poster celebrates the films (long and short) that he has written or co-written.
