Primal Quest is getting closer...


About 11 days to go to this year's highlight. Primal Quest in South Dakota. 960k of wilderness. I'm looking forward to it. These days are busy - preparing the last things - equipment, food, checking the area as good as possible, getting familiar with the weather there, etc.

Here are some pictures from there - seems to be quite nice ;-)


Rapid City is on the upper right part (find the little yellow flag)- there the start and probably the finish will be. In addition there are three more marks on this picture: Mount Rushmore is famous for the four presidents in stone. A similar monument is "Crazy Horse" a bit further to the vest. Harney Peak is the highest top in the Black Hills with 2207m - which seems to be a really nice area. Lot's of wilderness. Further to the south east there is the Wind Cave National Park. 280k of caves. We'll get to know some of them at least ;-) Even further to the east the nature changes totally - Bad Lands National Park - pure stone, no shadow. Can be tough to "run" through. Especially after one of the common thunder stroms which transforms the clay into a really sticky, heavy mass. mmmhh.
Here are the Bad Lands... Up and down - everywhere...
Great view from Harney Peak - somewhere in the Black Hills. I guess, we'll get there too.
