Badlands or bust

Barring any last minute emergencies, I'm off on a whirlwind tour of the central US, pivoting at the Badlands National Park in SD. I usually prefer to ad lib my route on trips like this (one trip to Albuquerque I ended up in Puerto Penasco Mexico). I will be posting a few pics and comments as I go along, depending on internet availability.

The planned route

Day 1 will be Monday.

I'm very casual about planning a trip. most of anything you forget can be picked up anywhere in the country. Thank you, Wal-Mart. But, I'll be packing the laptop (wish I had one of those small tablets now).

Update 4/22/12: I'm going to attempt to draw the route as I go using Google Maps. I will update as I go in the thread.

Cheers
Neal

If you're doing the whirlwind tour of SD, there's:
  • Sturgis
  • Wall Drug
  • Corn Palace in Mitchell
  • that little rock carving thingy
If you don't mind riding further, you could swing over to MT and see the Custer Battlefield.
