Badlands National Monument, SD – Tuesday May 22, 2018

The plan for the afternoon and evening was to tie some flys.

The afternoon worked out good however I got sidetracked during the evening.

We had a few thunderstorms move through the area, our location is Interior,SD mostly the center of these maps. Got a lot of rain and some hail I put in the large slide, most of the tent people didn’t fair as well. Jean went to bed at eleven and I set up most of the night enjoying the show. The lightning had to be over a thousand plus, for long periods of time the whole sky was lit up. The storms started at around 8:00 and lasted until 1:00 or 2:00.

Badlands National Park, SD – Cedar Pass Campground – Friday May 18, 2018

Today’s drive:

Stopped at Devil’s Tower National Monument for a couple of hours, I walked around the tower.

Found our site, dropped the pickup, went to the dump and filled with water. We plan to be here for 6 nights leaving the 24th moving to Custer State Park for two weeks.

In site 8.

The campground can be defined by the dump and water.

This is the potable water, hose at top bent, not much water can get through.

In the middle of the hose is electrical tape with water coming out of both ends of the wrap.

Water spraying out at the end of the hose where the fitting is worn out.
