The Badlands

Deadwood was a happenin' place, if you like casinos, since we don't we moved on. We took a beautiful walk in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Sophie loved blowing bubbles and running on the trails. Jakers loved it too. Chase found cool rocks and whittled as he walked. It was very relaxing. I loved seeing the slate formations. They stick straight up and down!!!!

Then we drove to the Badlands which were amazing. We saw Bison, Longhorn Sheep, Prairie Dogs and incredible views. After visiting the Prairie Dog towns, we drove out of the park to the Agate Allotment in the National Grasslands Park where we were able to rock hound.

After THAT, we drove on to find a hotel and crash for the night. The hotels east of the Badlands for 100 miles all had no vacancies. We finally found a little place and crashed.
