July 13 Badlands National Park
I stopped at Badlands National Park today and I must say it's not at the top of my list of places to see. It's mostly grasslands, cliffs, and rock formations; much like the state of WY, which you can see for free. It's my theory that our national government needed an easy way to generate revenue so they just took some wasteland that they hadn't already used for Indian reservations, and made a national park of it, charging a fee to unsuspecting tourists who thought they might see something interesting. Actually my review of the place probably wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't arrived there in the mid-day heat, and I'm sure the early morning or late evening sun w
ould create some interesting shadows across the rocky outcroppings.
