The Entire State of South Dakota

Today we drove from East to West across South Dakota. There wasn't much to see until we hit the Western corridor and took a detour into the Badlands National Park. This eroded wasteland of steep cliffs and dirt filled gullies was once the bottom of a Prehistoric ocean that split North America down the middle. Obi and FuzzyNutz got out on the edge to stare down into trenches of decaying ancient sea life. C-lo felt safer taking pictures from a few feet away. We moved quickly through the 90 Degree heat and entered into Custer State Park to join Jim and Barb for a few days of exploration in the Black Hills.
