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.
