How bad can it be.

Today we took a drive out to the Badlands National park. It was a beautiful day not too hot and clear skies. The views were magnificent, you could see for miles and miles. The surprising thing to me was that I had always thought that the bad lands were more like the painted desert or the grand canyon, but in reality it is a wall that that separates the high plains from the White River valley. The beautiful formations are the results of that wall eroding over the centuries and centuries.
