SouthDakota2008: Day 3 - Badlands National Park

John Dunbar, where are you?


On Day 3 of our South Dakota trip we went to the Badlands National Park. It is about an hour drive from where we were staying in Rapid City.


Grant, Diane, Doug, Liz, Anne, Paul's Dad, Paul's Mom...
...and the Badlands National Park...


Paul's Mom & Diane...


As far as the eye can see...


As we face an uncertain future, Doug maps out a strategy...


Helping Paul's Mom across the road...
...she does her best July Garland imitation...


Paul's Mom and the Badlands...


We visited the Visitor's center...


Paul's Dad & Mom at the Badlands...


Kinda looks like it could be developed into a golf course, eh?


Paul's cousin's Liz & Doug...


Diane, Grant, and the Badlands...


Anne, Paul's Dad, Diane, Paul's Mom, and Paul at the Badlands...


If we're leaving the badlands...
...why is Anne's Jeep (rental) pointing the wrong way?


Anne lost out on seeing any rattlesnakes...
