Badlands National Park--May 16,2010

We left Pickstown about noon and drove west and north to get to the Badlands. We saw lots of turkey and pheasant along the way.We had undulating hills and depressions where there was water and always ducks of one kind or another. Saw prarie dog towns and were always keeping our eyes open for wildlife. We don't travel the interstate unless we have to so we see a lot more. It is fun to stop in these small towns. We stopped in a town called Greely and ate lunch in the only bar/cafe in town and everyone was so friendly except the waitress and barkeep. It didn't take long for everyone to know strangers were in town. It is kind of hard to hide two motorcoaches on these wide streets.

We got to the Badlands yesterday late afternoon. We are now on mountain time. Our choice of campground wasn't as good this time. We did laundry and took showers last night so today we go sightseeing.
