South Dakota and the Bad Ass Badlands

February 25, 2019

I had no idea what to expect from South Dakota, but the state really surprised me! This blog should probably be called 'West South Dakota’, because, I only really stopped in the western part of the state, which I think is certainly more picturesque! I spent time in both the Badlands National Park, and Mount Rushmore.

See more snaps and a review of the experience!

Yellowstone (Not Jellystone) National Park

December 18, 2017

Yellowstone, not Jellystone.  Definitely different than Yogi Bear's top place to picnic.  The world's first National Park, A UNESCO World Heritage site, and one of the weirdest places I've seen on Earth.  In a word: otherworldly!
