Not really.... Just another shot of the badlands of South Dakota. A vast sea of eroded buttes, spires, gullies, fossil beds, and prairie, it looks more like something you'd see on Mars, than in the mid-western USA. We spent only a couple hours here, on our way to the Black Hills. I could have spent days here - everywhere you look there's another shot waiting to be taken. On the day we were there, the sky was filled with dark, ominous looking clouds, which gave it an even more alien feeling. I could well imagine seeing Frodo and Sam around the next gully, making their way to Mt. Doom. We did get a few sprinkles, but I'm glad it didn't rain... In addition to getting soaked, I understand the surface here gets really slippery when it gets wet. You can read more about Badlands National Park HERE. I'll be posting more photos of our trip - and I'll have a few surprises along the way.... :-D Thanks for dropping by, and for all your comments and support!
