Planned on getting three blog posts done today - maybe later will get to the third, but outside is calling my name.

Here's my revisit to The Badlands: http://ontheroadwithbeth.com/blog/2014/ ... -badlands/

And my short visit to Ft. Pierre and Pierre: http://ontheroadwithbeth.com/blog/2014/ ... pierre-sd/

Really interesting Beth. I esp liked the sod house. My husbands father was born in a sod house, a younger child in a house of 15 children, on the plains of Kansas in 1924, he will celebrate 90 soon. I have not seen a sod house so your pictures gave me a better idea how life was. Thanks.

Well worth another visit to the Badlands. Love the strange landscape.
Walls inside the sod house look better than I expected. Did you notice how they were constructed? Just smoothed sod or something else?The root seller looks much like the one at my grandmother's in TN.

I find that landscape of the badlands so fascinating. You said it well when you said it amazes you
that is how I feel then to find animals, plants ect living!!!
by the way I think (wish I could have heard the bird) that the yellowish one was a Meadowlark
the other looked like a bluebird so pretty
thanks for taking us to the bad lands

Sarah, I did look at the walls, but cannot remember now. That's what happens when I wait too long to post. Grrrr.
