Grand Adventure Part IV

Did you know we went to the Badlands?

Did you know I was in the process of summarizing an 18 day trip out West?  Did you know it might never get finished?

And, boy, when we were there in early July it was just "bad" hot, whew!

It's interesting though, with such amazing things to see you really get over the heat.

If we were at home with that type of heat we would've been whining up a storm.

But here, we were in and out of the car, up and down rock formations, watching for rattlesnakes and more.  Ninety-six degree day, what of it?

 That, my friends, are some Bad.Lands!
Isn't that just stunning??!!

 Many of our crew rambling over some Badlands.
(Minus the guy in the hat to the right of SP)
(Well, he was rambling, but he wasn't from our crew)
((I took this from the car from some distance away while a two year old slept))

 Coupla boys scampering up a Badland.

 An obligatory Badlands posed shot.

 Here's a little guy now mountaineering up some Badlands in his crocks with socks!

 The kid crew, minus one, working for their Badlands National Park badge.
(remember two of our delightful nieces travelled out to Yellowstone with us...one of them returned with us...to be continued...(-:).

 Here's the minus one now talking fossils with an expert.

Taken out my car window.
Can you even believe this stuff???
Gor.Geous!
Those are some Badlands!
(I kinda love that word)

O.K., off to take my (finally) antibiotic for what we've determined is now a sinus infection.  After a massive stomach bug three weeks ago and two weeks ago this weird coldish thing that's been morphing into big time yuck on and off, I am so ready to be healthy!
