It was extremely hot today. The high was about 98 degrees. The air was very hazy and it didn't make it easy to take clear pictures. Hopefully tomorrow we can get better pictures.

Badlands National Park
Today we arrived at a campground next to the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. As you travel through the Badlands you see many sharply eroded buttes, pinnacles, and spires, but also there are large mixed grass prairies. The prairies are home to bison, bighorn sheep, prairie dogs, and black-footed ferrets. Behind the scene are one of the world's richest fossil beds. Ancient mammals such as the rhino, horse, and saber-toothed cat once roamed in the area and their fossils are buried throughout the park .

Looks like a John Wayne movie scene. I remember driving out that way. Everything looks so surreal. Like it was just painted.
