South Dakota is Awesome!

While Colorado was flooding we took a spontaneous trip to South Dakota. It is a relatively short trip, about 6 hours to SD from Denver. First stop was Mount Rushmore - fogged in, no pictures of the monuments. Bummer. We stayed in Rapid City and ventured to the town of Deadwood for a bit of gambling…did pretty good on the slots, $175 :)

RoadTrippers route was planned but we didn’t stick to it. With all the flooding in Colorado we figured it best to go home the same way we went, HWY 85. We planned on visiting the ghost town of Scenic but didn’t make it. Instead we stopped at Wall, SD, the home of Wall Drug.
After touring the Wall Drug we headed out to the Badlands - Awesome!

We spent most of the day diving around the park, checked out the Visitor Center and stayed for the sunset. Got some great shots and even played around with the Hero3 a bit.
