We made it to the Badlands of South Dakota today and enjoyed the driving tour of such beautiful country. The oldest layers of the tall mounds go back 78 million years...makes you feel very small in the scheme of time. Each layer brings a new climate and type of land along with some ancient animals and fish. We stayed last night in Sioux Falls South Dakota after a long long day of driving...about 500 miles. But it got us into South Dakota which was the goal...We stayed the first night in Rhinelander Wis. Not the best park we have ever stayed at and the weather was very hot and humid!!
Mike and I posed with the use of my tripod for the camera...not a bad picture. Riggs is doing great...he is a good traveler and has not given us any problems.
Such great vistas and a picture does not do it justice.
Picture taken out the window..such great colors!
The Big Bad Boy and the bad boys at the Badlands...ha ha. We came upon a prairie dog community..very fun to watch and they scolded us for being so close. Not letting Riggs out at that stop for sure! We are staying at the KOA, on steroids, at Mr Rushmore tonight. We stayed here in 2011..the night of September 10th and woke up on Sept 11th to learn of the twin towers in New York City. It looks very different..a campground that is a destination for fun...especially if you are 10 years old. Plan to join in on the pancake breakfast tomorrow...all you can eat for $2.50. Not bad. Weather is cool and nice up at this elevation. We head to Sturgis and then Devils Tower tomorrow. On to Bozeman on Saturday night..Kathy and Michael
It looks like you are having fun. We visited those places last year. We are planning our trip and are trying to make sure that it includes a visit with you two. Have fun.
