Mako Sica

Interior Campground Interior, South Dakota

Sometimes you just need to make a new plan. We had been really excited about staying at THE WALL. During the night we had terrific storms again. It rained and hailed. We knew that the RV would not fare well on the slippery clay road. When the wind began to howl, we knew that staying on the cliff was not going to happen. We found a small campground in the town of Interior right outside the park. As we were leaving town, we met a guy at the gas station that was trying to repair his slideout covers. One cover was ripped off and he had used zip ties to hold it on. The wind was gusting so strongly as they drove through the Badlands this morning that he advised us not to drive that way. We revised our route and took the highway.

We stopped to take a hike at the Door Trail. This was a great walk because we were walking among the rock formations.

This afternoon, we took a 4WD trail.

Then a gravel road.

Then we did the scenic loop in the park.

Bison of the day.

Some bighorns.

We had our picnic dinner at a scenic overlook. It was another beautiful day!!

Marcia…this next picture reminded us of you!!
