Since we were traveling along Interstate 90 through South Dakota, on our way back to North Carolina, we decided to make a stop at the Badlands National Park. Neither of us had ever been there. We were anxious to get home, so we allotted only a few hours for the visit. We parked the RV at the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. The Museum is just north of the Badlands, at Exit 131. Between 1963 and the early 1990s there were…

It had been a long day and we didn’t want…
I’m a little behind on my blog. We kept very busy on our month long trip to Aspen and Ouray CO, Moab UT, Yellowstone, Tetons, Cody WY, Mt. Rushmore and Badlands. I hope you enjoy this blog on Moab. I hope to publish the remaining trip blogs within the next few days. We left Ouray, CO and headed to Moab, UT on September 17th, where we met up with friends from our RV homebase; Mountain Falls Luxury Motorcoach Resort in Lake…
