I assume that I must be in the Badlands National Park. If I
am not, then I am on the fringes thereof. The craggy mesas to the east and west
of the road and the dry, colorful valley floor are dead giveaways.
The road through Nebraska dwindled to a barely marked
single-track dirt trail before it finally dumped me out onto a US Highway on
the north end not far from the South Dakota border. Saga and I had to go east a
bit to make it to a place where we continue our northward trek, but according
to the maps we should be in Kadoka, South Dakota within the hour.
It is none too soon, this has been a lovely drive and I am
really enjoying it, but I have given-up on the idea of getting to Kensington by
nightfall. I think that we will stop for the night at our pre-screened
approximate half-way point. I am getting a bit tired and it is not a bad time
to start thinking about a hotel, even though it is not that late. There is no
reason to push it – take your time and enjoy the scenery; that is my new
cross-country driving motto.
Oh, my goodness! Who was that? That didn’t sound like me at
all!
Wherever you are today I hope you are taking your time enjoying
the scenery!
