I'm already planning our next trip to South Dakota!

Open road in South Dakota Plains

Badlands National Park--amazing.

The Faces!

Walkway with flags from the 50 states leading up to the Faces...this is new since 1982, the last time I was here.
As we moved east to west in South Dakota I was once again stunned by the mix of natural beauty,  how history is alive and well, as well as the pure fun that this part of the country has to offer.  As we were admiring the true beauty of true prairie land in the flat lands of eastern South Dakota, I couldn't help but think of the challenges of farming life.  It's a gamble every single season.  The wonder of the Badlands, the fun of Wall Drug, and the awe that one cannot help but feel when looking up at Mt. Rushmore...today had it all and I'm thinking of when our next trip here may be possible; there's always room to dig more deeply.  Onwards to my 50th state tomorrow--North Dakota, here we come!

  1. You just have to love the faces! Nearby prairie dogs however....I don't need to see more of them. Did you fish and fry?
