Camping tonight at the park, after a pleasant day of riding helped along sometimes by a light SSE wind. Brilliant sky, quite warm again in the afternoon, but now clouding up. Hoped to star gaze tonight. The colors in the "castles" -- the eroded craggy hills -- were washed out by the bright sun earlier but really show up with the clouds and setting sun.
When I was in the Badlands they were redoing all of the roads in the park, looks like they finished.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful space, it's like being at the bottom of the ocean in some parts.
Hi Jim - Congratulations on your progress and especially plowing through the winds and weather! A mutual friend, Brian O'Sullivan, told me of your solo trek and sent me your blog link. It was a bit of nostalgia for me to see the pics of the Badlands and evidence of the ancient sea floor. Brian and I came through this area from Seattle in 2007 and I was amazed at its beauty. Enjoy your journey!
