We got up, made and ate breakfast, packed up the tent and set out for the Badlands. On our way out of Custer State Park we saw more bighorn sheep, some of them on the road, and bison. We got gas and on our way to the Badlands we realized he have driven over 5,000 miles. Also, gas gets cheaper the further East we go. We didn't end up taking the road we intended to take into the Badlands so we had to adjust and take a side road up into the park, drive east a bit ...

We got up and had a little breakfast. We got on the car and first stopped at the Roosevelt Arch to take a few photos and then Matt stopped at the Mammoth General Store to buy cinnamon rolls. He really likes these cinnamon rolls that are made in Lovell, WY, and sold at Yellowstone so he always get them. We then drove the Mammoth Upper Terrace Drive and continued south and stopped at the Obsidian Cliff exhibit, which mentioned Ohio. Then we stopped at Roaring Mou...
