Ok, so due to time constraints and bad weather, I had to change up my plan and use a new route on my way to Seattle. First stop after leaving home was Des Moines. I rolled into town around 5:30 and checked into my room at the Holiday Inn. I walked down town to a few different bars to get the vibe of the city. Tuesday evening in Des Moines looked like Pyongyang, until I hit the bars. Here are some photos

Now these were taken before I got to the bar, and I was getting nervous, but then it got dark and the city seemed to explode.

I had a pretty damn good time. I met a few new cool folks and one guy even bought me a pizza at the bar just cause I mentioned I had been in the military! Anyway I’m in Deadwood, SD tonight and things are looking even better

till that day…
