Shabbos was pleasant here on Sand Creek near Beulah, Wyoming. Today, I decided to play with the drone a bit. As I was flying, a family of five moved in with their RV:
It was quite warm, so I spent a bit of time wading in the frigid creek.
It’s been very hot here near Badlands National Park, but I’ve lingered so I can fly here. This morning, the weather was finally favorable, so I launched flight 138, my first in South Dakota, and my first with my new Apco Hybrid 22:
Greetings, groundlings:
Looking down at my new photographer friend:
I packed up and drove west, visiting Wall Drug. I was last here in the 90s. It’s still a gigantic, eclectic mess of a tourist trap:
Unfortunately, the visitor center was closed for repairs:
I next visited the South Dakota Air and Space Museum:
I bought some groceries in Rapid City, then continued west into Wyoming:
I’m dispersed camping on the banks of Sand Creek:
I went for a run:
Good Shabbos from near Beulah, Wyoming! See the trip map for today’s drive.
Another beautiful day in the Badlands:
Since I arrived, I’ve been trying to figure out how to get down from the rim into the Badlands. Today I figured out a route:
Looking up at the RV:

Sunrise over Buffalo Gap National Grassland:
I decided to visit Badlands National Park today, and I decided to see if I could get in the back way:
The really back way:
Ultimately, that route didn’t work out, so I drove in the usual way and toured the western side of the park:
Unfortunately, I ran something over and punctured my rear tire, so I learned how to change a motorcycle tube on the side of the road:
Continuing on:
I did a short hike:
On the way back to the RV:
It’s a bit warm here today, I need to work out how to power the A/C with solar:
I played with my new drone a bit:
Nice morning dispersed camping on the west bank of the Missouri River:
Continuing west, I began to see signs for the world-famous Wall Drug:
I drove by the eastern entrance to Badlands National Park:
For the next few days, I’ll be dispersed camping along the rim of the badlands formation in the Buffalo Gap National Grassland:
Nice views from the RV:
I motorcycled around the neighborhood, and ran in to this little herd:
