This is the beginning the The Badlands. This was my first view of the Badlands as we traveled west on Interstate 90 in South Dakota.
The Badlands are so named due to being considered unsuitable for agriculture.
The rock formations are something to see.
...and bighorn sheep. They were grazing beside the road. Almost close enough we could have reached out the window and touched them.

Believe it or not, this is the area where my father was born!! An old homestead. Excellent photos...excellent.
ReplyDeleteI loved it out there. It was my first trip to that area. If it wasn't for the winters I would be ready to move.
DeleteGreat trip -- The Badlands are beautiful when you get used to looking a little harder than you might have to in some places. You obviously know how to look -- thanks for sharing your sightings.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful part of the world. Thanks.
