It's not pretty. Funny. But not pretty.

...and then add a little weed into the mix...

There's always the chance the bloom is off the ladies...

This may be the best post you have made on this site. I'm still laughing .

All meant in good fun. Not withering...

You have all those ladies over and good food cooking and we get a Pic of a flower?

I think the other stuff is videos.

Brings back memories from HS... Our baseball team go down there for "spring training" for a week in Jan... stay in dorms at a big baseball complex and practice and scrimmage teams from other areas. Fun as hell, especially considering it was during school, so all the other students were in class back home.

Watched the resupply launch this morning, another one scheduled for about half an hour from now. Pretty cool place.

Nice! That whole area is on my list. Did y’all fly up there and if so, into what airport? Next time we hit Yellowstone, I’m leaning towards flying into that area and doing Badlands and those other spots along with Deadwood, then driving to Cody, WY for a day, then into the park from the east this time. Would probably fly back out of Bozeman or Billings.

I love our travel agent, but...damn.

Birmingham to Denver, a three+ hour layover, Denver to Rapid City.

Tomorrow, almost the same coming back

Night view:




Lincoln looks like he's wearing one of those Canadian flap hats, and now I can't unsee it.

That's why I asking... there's just no real good (and inexpensive) way to get there from here without a private jet. LOL Seems it either airport hopping or still having to rent a car and drive a good ways. And we almost always fly SW which limits the airports even more. Looks like a good time though... share some more photos when you can.

My dad told me that he, my mother, and presume aunt and uncle took a train from Nashville to get here.

I was driving, and my wife didn't take any pics while we were on I 90, but all we saw on the hour ride from Rapid City to the Badlands was 1. rolling hills after rolling hills after rolling hills (Custer said he never could see the Sioux coming. I get it.) and 2. a whole lot of nothing else.

The Badlands, I always wanted to see this place. I'm slightly torn on which is better, the Grand Canyon or the Badlands. Okay, obviously the former, but here you can see the depth, and everything is closer, including the buffalo.

Before we started traveling full time we rented an rv in tuscaloosa and drove out. It wasn't a bad drive and lots of places to stay out that way.

Stop by Custer state park if you have time.

I'd love to take a car and just take about 3 weeks and hit a bunch of cities, baseball games, and places of interest along the way... I can't stand being in a vehicle for more than about 4 hours at a time though. Taking that much time for a trip isn't really an option right now, but maybe down the road.

Good thing about the rv, if you have trouble sitting you can swap out with another driver and lay down for a nap. If you own a car you can flat tow it's even better.

This is why a trip to Tuscaloosa, even though it's only eight hours, takes me two days. Hit Augusta for lunch, ATL for dinner...sleep hit B-ham for lunch. The tourney a few weeks ago had me thinking about Farmhaus Burgers. That's good eatin'.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Yeah, I just have gotten to where I hate driving. Some routes and roads I can live with and it doesn't bother me much (a select few are actually fun and/or relaxing), but most of them are a pain. I don't even bother with going into B'ham much anymore. Hell, unless I have to, I don't cross the river into Tuscaloosa. I've been needing to stop by the campus for a while now to pick something up during business hours and I punted it until after graduation when it clears out... I'll go in the morning and it'll be 10x easier than had I gone a few weeks back.

I need a Tesla I guess. I can just sit back, relax, watch a movie, and let it take me.....................
