The Bad Bad Badlands

Well, the Badlands really lived up to their name on the first night of our stay in Badlands National Park. Enjoying a beautiful sunset while the full moon rose in the east, it was a glorious evening. But the Badlands had an alternate agenda for that night. About midnight a monster storm hit that carried on and off until daybreak. Poor Lewis was deluged with heavy rain and pummeled with marble size pellets of hail. Inside Lewis it sounded like we were under attack from gun shots while the booms of the wind sounded like cannon fire. The growling thunder and the flashes of lightning added to the melee! Not much sleep that night. After sleeping in the next day, we toured the park and were amazed by its beauty and its geological history. Badlands Landscape
