Badlands - South Dakota

The Badlands: not much to say except to put of pictures. It was well worth the 10 hour trip!

Oh and we loved the camping! We spent Thursday making the drive from northern Minnesota. We arrived around 6 that evening. We spent a while driving to our campsite -- you have to drive halfway around the "loop" to get to the free campsite. We set up camp, ate and played UNO until it was too dark to see our cards (which was pretty dark because the numbers are big and the colors just became different shades of gray). There was a beautiful sunset!

The next morning (there was a bison standing right in the campsite): breakfast, packing up, then we did a short hike (not even a mile), but it was 95 degrees today and very dry so that was enough.
