There's nothing Bad about these Lands!

K: Live from the campsight at Badlands National Park, South Dakota. The netbook is connected to the blackberry which is serving as the modem; we have wireless. I LOVE technology! The drive across South Dakota was stunning. The prairie grassland is windswept and desolate. Interstate 90 seems to stretch on and on and suddenly the Wall of the Badlands appears almost out of nowhere. It is beautiful.



V: Finally, I get the girl to camp. And it is great so far. We have camp set up in the Badlands with the tent facing part of the Wall - surreal and beautiful, as some of you know. Nighttime temps may dip into the '40s tonight, so we will see how she fares. Off to cook dinner. The bites tonight include Knorr's Roasted Garlic, Olive Oil and Broccoli Rotini with tuna, and, of course, sips of Shiraz (from a box). Oh, and there are about 6 deer feeding right behind our campsite.



Day Four: Have traveled nearly 1900 miles. Toured the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. Hiking in Badlands National Park, deer and Big Horn Sheep sightings. And, finally, a second windshield trauma which will result in the replacement of the windshield at some point. The travails of the open road.
