Driving West

I've been trekking my way out to the West Coast over the last week to spend the summer in beautiful Truckee, CA for a summer of training. Calvin Wight (Colby 2016) and I caravanned out to Chicago with Riley Eusden and Alec McGovern of the Bowdoin Ski Team, before tackling Minnesota and the corn belt on our own. After about 300 miles of the flattest road I've ever seen, we rolled into Badlands National Park in South Dakota. We camped for the night in the park where the buffalo were roaming among the tents and watched the sun rise over the broken hills this morning. We're resting up over the next couple days in Jackson, WY before the final push out to Lake Tahoe. The training here looks sweet and I'm looking forward to seeing some more of the American West as the week goes on.
