It's now the next day and we left Wisconsin and Minnesota without a picture. Here in Mitchell is the famous "Corn Palace." May 15, 2005 2025x1452 |
These murals are made of corn. May 15, 2005 2026x1455 |

One of many billboards in South Dakota. This one was visible from the Missouri River overlook and was typical of the pro-agriculture industry signs all over state. May 15, 2005 2027x1455 |
Our tent from our campsite at the KOA in Belvidere, SD. It was very remote. May 15, 2005 2029x1456 |
As one of only 2 tents and 2 or 3 RVs, we found no obstruction in taking the tripod out to take pictures of the sunset over South Dakota. May 15, 2005 2052x1455 |
The sunset is beginning to happen. May 15, 2005 2028x1457 |
A flock of birds flew over the twilight sky. May 15, 2005 2028x1459 |
More of the sunset. The sky's actual color is closer to the previous shot, but this is what it looked like through the lens. May 15, 2005 2034x1446 |
Sunset just about to fall in Belvidere, SD. May 15, 2005 2028x1458 |
Sunset. May 15, 2005 2025x1437 |

More of the Badlands, May 16, 2005 2022x1457 |
These vistas go on for about 60 miles. May 16, 2005 2027x1460 |
Sometimes, you felt like Alice in Wonderland, with these tiny little mountains. The green on top gives you a sense of what the terrain would look like if the rest hadn't worn away. May 16, 2005 2029x1459 |
Genevieve at a Badlands National Park overlook. May 16, 2005 2031x1459 |
More from the same overlook. You can see badlands forever looking in this direction. May 16, 2005 2031x1458 |
More Badlands. As the season goes on, there will be less green on the tops as the region dries out. May 16, 2005 2034x1455 |
Hiking now in the Badlands. This is probably no more than 20 or 25 feet high. It sometimes looks like there are relief carvings in the dirt, but it's all natural. May 16, 2005 2027x1455 |
You couldn't go wrong. There was one shot like this after another. May 16, 2005 2031x1458 |
