West Coast: Day 3

Yesterday was a boring day in terms of food (lots of disgusting fast food). Today wasn't much better but I did make myself a pretty tasty English egg muffin sandwich this morning with sausage, home fries and a spicy salsa sauce. But we did see an incredible amount of pumpkins everywhere. Something about the midwest; they love their squash/gourd-like/pumpkins species out here. We visited a Gertens today (kind of the Wal-Mart equivalent for gardens/nurseries.) I have never seen a) so many pumpkins together in one place and b) so many different types of pumpkins. I love, love, love pumpkins. Weird, I know. We entered the prairies tonight (Murdo, South Dakota), literally in the middle of nowhere. Everything is flat and even the occasional tree seem out of place. Our Days Inn is cladded in wood logs and the lobby is filled with taxidermy. Perfect setting for a slasher film - House of Wax 2: Prairie Fire.
