Hey All,
We went to Badlands NP on Saturday, October 8th, after Wall Drug South Dakota. Wall Drug isn't a drug store, it's a bunch of little old west type of stores, we walked around and bought a few souvenirs. After Wall Drug we drove over to Badlands National Park. Here's what the National Park website says about Badlands: "People are drawn to the rugged beauty of the Badlands. These geologic deposits contain one of the world's richest fossil beds. Ancient mammals such as the rhino, horse, and saber-toothed cat once roamed here. The park's 244,000 acres protect an expanse of mixed-grass prairie where bison, bighorn sheep, deer, pronghorn, prairie dogs, and black-footed ferrets live today." The deposits are so colorful, reds, greys, greens and even some yellow. Daniel and Anna got their Junior Ranger Badges, I think it's their 12th! It took us about an hour to go through Badlands, we didn't stop and it was pretty rainy. Here are some pictures:

Hi all, sorry we have not posted lately! But we have been reading. You guys really have not missed much. You have been able to stop at so many amazing spots. We also loved the Badlands it was so rugged. I think we even got a little lost out there in the wild. You guys all sound great. Take care Love Kala and family.
