Beautiful South Dakota

In three days, we’ve only managed to cross the state of South Dakota.  Not fast, you might say, but out here the spaces are wide and the distances long.  We’re heading to Moran, Wyoming, just outside the Grand Tetons.

Fields of sunflowers stretched for miles in central South Dakota, near places like Cottonwood, population 12.

We feel the effects of being on the move, looking for places to camp every day or getting ready to go again. 

That said, we scored big time at our first boon-docking spot inside the Buffalo Gap Grasslands with an amazing view of the Badlands.  

That's us on top of the hill.

First we had to follow a track off-road that led us to a precipice where we parked.

The next day we were off to the Black Hills, our last stop in South Dakota.
