Day 2

Today was more driving and then made it to the Badlands and also Wall Drug.  Saw our first of many Buffalo in the Badlands.  We were planning to camp in the Badlands, but ended up traveling on to the Black Forest and had a great campsite on a beautiful lake.

Morning fog as we were leaving our Day 1 campsite

This is pheasant country

Wildlife was everywhere

The Badlands

There were Prairie Dogs everywhere in the Badlands

Our first Buffalo sighting

We got a little too close to this one. He was rolling on the ground...we later learned that is a sign of agression.

Another prairie dog...they are cute, but make a big mess of the land

We thought about camping here, but it was just too ugly

We went on a hike and kindof stumbled across this buffalo. Fortunately it was down a hill so we were pretty safe

The "famous" Wall Drug Store

Don't be jealous Jane

Our first Jackalope sighting

Our first dinasaur sighting. This thing was out in a field in the middle of nowhere.

A bad picture of our Day 2 campground. It was in the Black Hills on a beautiful lake.
