Lincoln NE to the Badlands Via Niobrara State Park

Today is Sunday.  We have been out of internet range for a little while.  Friday after watching the KU car compete at Formula SAE Lincoln (the KY team finished 4th out of 80+ cars) we ventured north.  We ended up at Niobrara State Park in northern Nebraska.  Pretty views of the Missouri River.

Saturday, we left and ventured across the Southern part of South Dakota on US 18.  That is called the Oyate trail.  You can read about it at http://www.oyatetrail.com/  Very desolate country.  Final Destination was Badlands National Park.

At Badlands we travelled about 15 miles on dirt roads to the Sage Creek dispersed camping area.  This area was very remote.  We watched as a group of 4 Bison wandered along a creek bed in the distance.  This was a very nice camping area.  I would highly recommend it if you like remote settings.  An added bonus...it was free.  This is the view from our campsite for the night.

In case you doubt that I live on the ragged edge, this is proof that I do.  The sign states "past this sign is wilderness"  See wich side I am on?
