I Hate Love Songs

Oh and I'm far too vain, to kiss in the rain,

The clouds they aren't numbered to nine.

And you make me feel something,

But it sure as hell ain't butterflies.

I hate love songs,

Yeah, I really do.

Wall, South Dakota

September 2018

When traveling through South Dakota everyone says, "You gotta stop at Wall Drug". Well after leaving the Badlands and Buffalo Gap we headed on into Wall. The signs along the interstate rival those of South of the Border on the North Carolina/South Carolina border. At Rapid City's Firehouse Brewing, for that matter. Well, we got there, it was late, it was cool and drizzly, we were tired. Been there done that, checked it off the list.

Popo Agie River Rendezvous

 Fur Trappers Rendezvous 1812-1837

Popo Agie River

Lander, Wyoming

October 2018

If you've ever watched the classic 1980 Charleton Heston movie "The Mountain Men" (if you haven't, go do it now. I'll wait) at the beginning of the movie Bill Tyler (played by Heston) meets up with his old friend Henry Frapp (played by Brian Keith), who is showing Nate Wyeth, a Massachusetts ice merchant, a route to Oregon. They decide to go to the fur trappers rendezvous together. (Because, as Henry put it, "If I don't get some whiskey, I'm gonna die!". When they get to where they thought the rendezvous was all they find is a note that read, "Come on to Popo Agie. Plenty whiskey and white woman".

Well, this is Popo Agie.
