Our Last Day in the Badlands

I ended yesterday's blog hoping "for good weather". But today started out very foggy, a little drizzle and forecast for storms all day.

Well, everyone tells us that the Badlands are completely different with changes in light so we decided to go back anyway. Not a hard decision since my Senior Pass gets us into all National Parks for FREE !

"They" were right. It seemed the colors were brighter under an overcast sky. Unfortunately, the camera didn't show it.


So Carol took pictures of flowers instead.

And classic sports cars.  A Morgan 4/4 two seater with New Jersey plates. The driver wasn't in a talkative mood so I don't know what vintage. For a non-enthusiast it's hard to tell since Morgan has been producing this car with few changes since 1936.

 Gray skies but still beautiful scenery. Those endless stairs behind Carol took us to a wonderful overlook.

 After lunch the clouds starting breaking and soon we went from scattered clouds to a clear bright blue sky.

 One of many Prairie Dog Villages. Carol did an excellent job of FINALLY catching one standing up.

The end of another incredible day as we say "Good By" to the Badlands.
