I'm really glad I got to see Badlands N.P. a few years ago. My only regret is that it was so hot that day I could hardly stand to get out of the car and leave the a/c. It was September, and the weather was just about perfect every day, except for THAT one. As a result, we mostly looked at the scenery from the road, getting out of the car here and there to take pictures. I would have loved to check out the hiking trails, but I do not tolerate heat well. It was still fascinating and fun, but I regret not being able to really explore.

I bet you didn't see any dogs wandering around................Trump knew he had to have her high up in his CABAL, after she had shown such cruelty and sadism towards a pet..........

I don't think Ms. Puppykiller was governor yet, lol. Google says she took office in 2019.

10. She really got rolling during Covid

She didn't cancel sturgess.....4-5K people all in close quarters from all over the U.S. She was warned, but ignored it because she knew it would bring in Millions in Windfall Tax Revenue for her state. The best part was at the end, she got to send them to all get taken care of by the states they came from. When her citizens that had taken care of all those crowds, or her general population, started coming down with Covid, she said she didn't have the medical facilities, seeing they were such a small state. So those that didn't die, she asked neighboring states to take to care for them, depleting their resources and money.....
The dog was nothing compared to that devious and deceitful act........
That stood out to Trump, and was sure to get her a prominent job in his CABAL years later.....

I was reading a commentary by someone who had been in the World Health Organization. He stated that Trump's actions/in-actions resulted in an extra 500,000 deaths than the U.S. should have had.......He explained that it probably was way over that figure because DeSantis in Florida, Abbott in Texas were not keeping a tally of deaths in their states to help out Trump....and in a lot of red states, the Dr.'s were putting something other than Covid as the cause of death on countless covid deaths...

I have been there in hot and cold. First time was a memorial day weekend. Snow in the high elevations, lots of birds and bison on the loop.

I have been told by others that the North Dakota Badlands are even more interesting.

One day, I'll get there too.
