The Badlands - Part 1

On Monday we got up and packed up our car and headed towards the Badlands about 10am.  I wasn't sure what to expect but that it is very different than the Black Hills.  So, it took about 1.5 to get here to our campsite from Rapid City, going down highway 44 - the scenic and free way to drive towards the Badlands.  The other way you go through the Badlands so you have to pay the $15 (it is for the entire week) to drive through, this way is also faster and left for us the discovery of the Badlands until we had more time.  We got here to our KOA and settled in, took a nap (we were so tired from the day before), read and of course blogged.  We had a really good relaxing day.  Here are some of the pictures of the campsite and what we saw as we came in.

Our cabin - with air conditioning - we need it because it is hotter here than in the Black Hills.
