Wonderful pics. I can see Antelope Island from my back yard.

And the Badlands are so awesome. Did you stop at Wall Drug? If not, you missed a real treat.

I bought a fuzzy rattle snake for my grand daughter. That place is a trip.

Antelope Island was incredible. It was so windy, though. The hike up to Buffalo Point was almost painful because of the high winds. I don't think I've ever experienced winds like that before. We spent about 6 hours there and still didn't see all of it.

I love the landscapes so much. Both Storm photos, and the sunset, they are just beautiful.
And that Bison is scaring me.

The Badlands look like something from a scifi movie. I need to go there before I die. Drove through there many years ago but remember absolutely nothing about them. All I remember is a sign outside Souix City, Iowa that said "this isn't Hell but you can see it from here"
