Badlands National Park

We traveled north through some beautiful country to Rapid City, SD and proceeded east to Badlands National Park. We will be staying for several days at the KOA just south of the entrance to the park. To make a phone call we have to go across the road and go 2 miles up a dirt road to the top of a butte. Even then the signal is pretty wimpy. There will only be campground wifi here.

Our friends from Maryland, Mike and Linda, caught up with us here.

We went through the park. It is an amazing landscape with subtle colours and weird shapes. This area is erosion's finest hour.

We eventually made our way up to the ultimate in tourist traps, Wall Drug. It just so reminds me of South of the Border in South Carolina. There are road signs from 100 miles in every direction heralding it's presence.

There's something for everyone
