Badlands National Park

I bet your office has walls. Mine doesn't! The views here are fantastic, and so is the trip. I will say though that it started out hot, and I'm not huge fan of the heat. And the only real exercise I'd been getting was from jumping to conclusions. Yet, as soon as I got onto the trail I found myself sprinting to the top and on to the next hill. My batteries are so recharged right now. I haven't felt this alive in years.

As for the sights, this is an overlook from just inside the main entrance to the park.

Deeper into the park, the territory is a bit rougher.

Birds aplenty!

This Westerm Meadowlark kept me company whenever I was at the campsite, and he was rumaging in the grass in front of the tent when I woke up too.
