Today brought a little bit of clouds and rain, but overall it was a good driving day. I logged about 660 miles (almost all interstate).  I set up my tent, and drove to the Cedar Pass Lodge to find WiFi.  Right now, it's 6:15pm and the light is still too bright for good pictures.  The land looks washed out in bright, direct light, but the colors will come alive at sunset or sunrise.  In a few minutes, I'll drive west and take pictures all along the Park road.

The campground is almost full tonight, which is somewhat rare according the Badlands National Park info on the web.  My site is level and I think it will be fairly quiet here tonight.  There are no highways for many miles.

Here are some evening pictures.  I returned to the Lodge to post them.  (It's the only spot with WiFi.)   Good night!
