Interesting Things I Learned on this Trip

1. Wyoming is very friendly, because all of its revenue depends on energy production (lots of buyers, plenty of supply) and tourism (especially in this corner of the state). They are pretty nice to the loads of idiot tourists who stumble through here.
2. Wyoming (and South Dakota for that matter) does not care if it names things inappropriately or humorously. Let's recount thus far:
   • Crazy Woman's Creek
   • Dead Swede Campground
   • Many Black Dikes (that's not "Dyke" but it sounds enough like it
   • Mary's Nipple (actually, that's in Idaho, but we can count them too)
   • Indian Creek (I'm guessing there are several)
3. The technology created to allow one to pack one's own feces off a mountain has improved dramatically, even if I avoided having to use said technology.
4. LMFAO's "I'm Sexy and I Know It" is not a good song. It is especially not a good song when played 4 times in a row on the car stereo. And it is the very last type of noise/song that I want to hear when driving through Yellowstone.
5. Do not EVER let your 10-year old play Katy Perry songs before embarking on an 8-mile hike. Not only are they terrible, they also stick in your head.
6. Lastly and most importantly, when trying to urinate outside in 65 mph winds, there is absolutely positively no way that drops of urine will not spray back in your face. Accept it and employ large quantities of hand sanitizer.
