We drove all morning through miles of huge hay and wheat fields blowing in the wind. All of a sudden the buttes and peaks of the Badlands were on the horizon. We are staying at Badlands National Park for two nights and plan to take the scenic loop drive tomorrow. The rock formations remind us of a combination of Big Bend, Bryce Canyon and Arches National Park. But, they are so bland in color that some areas look just like a cement quarry!
If the 95 degree temperature didn't talk me out of hiking the "Beware of Rattlesnake" signs certainly did!
PS - I lucked out and got a good hair "do" in Austin before we left - Roger decided to wait - big mistake! He finally got his hair cut in Yankton - looks like an Indian scalped him!!! For once, I am asking him to put his hat on!
