The Badlands were incredible. To drive through on a motorcycle, with no steel cage around you, was truly impressive. Here are some pictures and videos. If you’d like, check out the Flickr Set for this day as it was just amazing.

This is Scott adventuring out into the rocks. Scott had been telling me that the last time he visited the Badlands, with his parents, he scared the bejeesus out of his mother by playing around on these rocks. So this video might give Scott’s mom a heart attack- please be careful Mrs. Patton. This was right next to a scenic outlook, and rather than looking at the scenery all the people at the viewing station were staring at Scott. I actually heard people mumbling assurances to each other- “one step at a time”; “he’s young, he’ll be ok”.

Here’s one of me talking about one feature of the Badlands I was impressed with.
