July 6th, Badlands National Park to Jackson, MN

 July 6th, Badlands National Park to Jackson, MN

Today was a pretty boring day with a straight drive East on I90 from the Badlands to Jackson, MN. where we camped at a nice KOA just off the highway.  The highlight of the day was stopping at the Lewis & Clark highway road stop where I90 crosses the Missouri River.  We have been here before and noticed a new addition of a huge statue of a Native American named Dignity.

Another highlight of the day was doing laundry at the KOA.  No big deal as we had great internet wifi and worked on the blog while three loads washed and dried,

 July 5th, Badlands National Park, Interior, SD Did a relative straight route east from Ten Sleep to the Badlands National Park.  Stayed at the Badlands Interior RV Park.  The drive was very interesting from Ten Sleep to Buffalo, WY as we drove west on route 16 through a very scenic mountain gorge of the Bighorn National Forest.  It looks like a great place to camp if you are ok boondocking(no electric or water).  The views are great and it looks like a great place for mountain climbers.  After Buffalo, it was a straight shot on I-90 to the route 240 exit for the Badlands and the badlands Interior Campground.  That night we had the most intense rain and wind storm so far this trip.  Seems like the winds are very powerful out in the western territories. The next morning we took a short drive into the Badlands and saw some impressive landscapes. Our route east on State route 16 and I-90 from Ten Sleep to the Badlands Zoom view of the Bighorn Gorge e...
