Today was an early start. Mother Nature provided some rain and pyrotechnics with and early morning storm. But the rain stopped just as it was time to get up and going and the sunrise over the Badlands was extraordinary.
Once packed up, we rode a short distance into the National Park and breakfast.
The Badlands are truly unique and provide color and a sense of desolation.
The entire morning was spent riding through the park.
Tomorrow we are off to Pierre, the South Dakota State Capitol and a rest day. We cross the Missouri River and enter the Central Tome Zone. It does't seem possible that we will begin the final week on the tour.
