Day 80

More of the Badlands

Jul 25, 2013, 2:54 PM

Well on Sunday it was pretty darn hot to be playing on the rocks and sand at the Badlands so by the time we got half way through we were spent so we didn't give the second half our all. Today since we have a full day of driving tomorrow we didn't want to go far from home and we thought doing the Wall end of the Badlands again would be a good idea. It's only about 10 miles out of Wall so why not. It is such an unbelievably beautiful ride. Daniel Webster himself would find it difficult to come up with enough words to do justice to the vistas that will forever be imprinted in my mind. I'm really sad as I look out that I won't stand in this spot again, but there is another side to that coin. We are going to be on our way to Yellowstone and things out that way. Again I'm struck with how this is all just such an amazing dream come true. I never thought I'd be able to see these places and yet we are. I have a wonderful husband and a wonderful life and I am so thankful for both.

In case you didn't notice, we have now been on the road 80 days. I can't get over it. In some respects it seems like it, but mostly it doesn't seem like it's been 30 days. So at this point we are pretty much ready to go tomorrow. Tonight I made more reservations. We are now set till the 11th of August. We will at that point be in Spokane, Washington. No plans further out than that. So I think that is it for today, I'm going to bed, we have an early day tomorrow. 

I forgot to include these photos of Spanky whooping it up at Wall Drug.
