Badass Badlands

As of September 30th, I have been living in Oregon for a year. I must say, it has been a very good year. I took a lot of photos along the way to remember the drive out here. In the last blog about the trip I was only as far as Mitchell, SD.

So let's speed things up. I made it to the Badlands. If you ever get a chance to go, I highly recommend it. It is an incredible place. I was only there for a short time but I was impressed.





I took these photos with a disposable camera as the sun was setting.















I found a couple of strangers to take my photo.



I copied this from the official website: Containing the world's richest Oligocene epoch fossil beds, dating 37-28 million years old, the evolutionary stories of mammals such as the horse and rhinoceros arise from the 244,000 acres of sharply eroded buttes, pinnacles, and spires. Bison, bighorn sheep, endangered black-footed ferrets, and swift fox roam one of the largest, protected mixed-grass prairies in the United States.

I wish I had more time to spend there, but I was hell bent on getting to Oregon.
