Wish I’d Had a Car

Today (July 12), we would not have missed much had we made the trip from Rapid City to Interior, SD, in a car.

The 80.3 mile ride in the 100 degree heat was a bit of a challenge.

The only thing I found worth photographing were these cacti along the side of the road.

How in the world do cacti survive through the freezing, snowy South Dakota winters?

I think the purpose of today’s trek was to set us up for an early start through Badlands National Park the following day.
