You look like you're having a lot of fun, Gaiam.
We spent the weekend with my parents and managed to get to the Badlands for an afternoon of climbing. Here's a few pics.
This first one is actually not of the Badlands, it's the view from my parents' yard as we were coming back from the beach...we got home just in time:
This one is on the top of the butte we climbed. There were 9 people there, 7 with cameras and here we are taking pictures of the vista. I'm at the end in that pic with my nephews and niece ahead of me, my brother, who was obviously behind me, took this shot:
This is my son, Isaac on the descent, taking it all in:
The view from the top:
This picture was a happy surprise, those are my boys, Isaac is on the roof and Sam is in the window frame. This pose was completely spontaneous, I was actually trying to get the backgrond, which makes it even more impressive:
And this is the view in the direction Isaac was facing:
Some of the weird formations:
And caves. There are three children you can't see in that dark hole, I'm taking their picture:
It was a fun day. Lots of pictures were taken, between the 7 of us, there were hundreds, I'm sure.

There are 2 units of Badlands in ND, the North Unit and the South, easy enough to remember. We were in the North Unit, it's close to where my dad grew up, practically in his back yard so he knows all the good places to go and every feature has a story for him. I don't know if that's the reason why I prefer the North Unit but it seems like it's a little more wild and varied than the South Unit.
