We finally made it to the Badlands

---

We started out this morning meeting with an old friend, Troy for breakfast just outside of our campground. We met Megan, his lovely girlfriend. We caught up with the last nine years of his life before saying goodbye and heading on west on 90. We hit periods of rain again today. We saw a lightning bolt hit in one of the cornfields we were passing. It is really flat here. Dave drove another almost 500 miles today, but we finally made it to the Badlands of South Dakota. We were awestruck with the uniqueness of this beautiful land. We camped in the Park and watched a beautiful sunset.

Flat South Dakota
Dave was amazed at the "nothingness" of South Dakota - it is so flat and so empty of the things one normally sees as they are driving.
