Badlands National Park

Had a storm brew all afternoon which finally broke around 5pm. The wind dropped the temps 20 degrees! We cooked dinner on the flat top and visited with our camping neighbors.

We woke up around 1am to see the night sky. Since BNP is a dark sky initiative, I knew we'd see quite a bit of stars. I did not expect to see the milky way unaided. Simply spectacular is an understatement.

Dawn was at 4am when the meadowlarks started singing. Guess the coyotes howling all night woke them up early. I loved listening to the coyotes.

Rain storms brewing again this morning made for a beautiful sunrise. Beginning our trek south and east today.Weiterlesen
