We got up drove on to the Badlands this morning. The wind blew like crazy all morning. The Badlands are beautiful and filled with wildlife. We saw Buffalo, Mountain Goats, Mule Deer, Antelope and Prairie dogs. The rock formations are amazing. We did some hikes by the enterance and then headed off to set up camp at their boondocking site. We wanted to make sure that we had a place to park. We ate lunch and then went back for more scenery. We came back for dinner and then watched the goats playing on the cliffsides beside us.
Saturday we started the day with a trip to Wall SD. We saw Antelope and Long Horn Sheep on the way. We did the historic tour of Wall Drug Store and then some shopping. After we got stuff loaded back in the camper, we did some more driving in the Badlands and hiked some of the trails. Our favorite was the climb to the peak at Saddle Pass. The view was wonderful and the climb was challaging. We drove to Interior SD and Scenic SD doing a loop back into the park. It was a really nice drive. After we got back to camp, we met our neighbors. One had bought his camper in Soddy Daisy, full timers from Atlanta. The other neighbor was from Knoxville. What a small world we live in. We ended up setting through another bad thunderstorm with high winds before finally getting some sleep.
