Badlands

I'm kind of excited to be at the Badlands

The Badlands are amazing.  It’s hard to know what to say about them, I spent a few afternoons and evenings exploring them, doing some small hiking and just taking it all in.  Scrambling up rocks, watching the sunset, hanging out with prairie dogs, watching the stars gaze silently back; it was all delightful.

Photos arranged mostly as they were taken, no real order.  I’m changing how I link to them slightly with this post, in theory you can click on them to go to another page, whereupon you can click elsewhere to make them bigger.  Seems a bit involved.

I love the mix of rocky outcroppings and open plains.
