We boondocked on a excessive ridge overlooking Badlands Nationwide Park in South Dakota. Fabulous 360 diploma views of badlands cliffs, prairie grasses, sounds of larks and a mild cooling breeze. Till. Quickly after sundown the sudden layered clouds lit up with sheet lightening overlaying 180 levels of our view, and the radio screaming thunderstorm warnings with 70-mile-per-hour mile per hour gusts and tennis ball! Hail.
The late, after midnight, bedtime and newly chip sealed Badlands NP roads nixed the bike experience we’d deliberate, and prompt a 4.75 mile loop hike. Stunning. Its a lot better to get out of your automobile, or perhaps a bike and dive into the sounds, smells and unusual however mild fantastic thing about the prairie.
