Dinosaur Hill

I do not think anywhere has more sentimental, ancient meaning to me as Dinosaur Park in Rapid City, South Dakota. These giant concrete statues were magical to me as a toddler. It is the fuzzy memory of going there, one of the few times I was with my grandparents, and someone had painted a giant penis on it. It was a strange pilgrimage I made when I ran away from home as an adolescent and ate Pez from an outcrop and watched as the police cars circled the streets below, looking for me. It was a place to drink forbidden beverages in stupidly risky locations as a high schooler. It was the place I brought my baby in one of the few times he got to meet his grandparents.
