We spent about 12 hours on the road today, much of it driving directly into the sun, so we're exhausted. We almost made it to the Badlands, but the sun was just starting to go down, so we've stopped a few miles west and will head into the park in the morning. Highlights from the drive through eastern South Dakota:
Dirt road off Highway 81:

Eastern South Dakota is filled with miles of gorgeous farmland, and some horses too!

The rolling hilly things as we got closer to the Badlands. It was a nice change to see some landscape that didn't look like we could possibly still be in Ohio.
