We took the car and travelled the 36 miles of park roads to take in the scenery and some of the wildlife. Gorgeous vistas of the badlands and was pleasantly surprised to see buffalo.

these pics don't do the badlands justice |
this fellow was resting in the shade |
mama and her calf |
one of many prairie dogs - the colony was huge |
saw several different herds of buffalo grazing |
even saw three deer grazing on the hillside |
While Clark was cleaning up the dishes after supper I went out to put the lawn chairs away and was surprised by these large visitors to our campsite.
I was keeping the car between me and these beasts |
just a tad bigger than javelina |
that's our picnic table |
After visiting our site they went next door to an empty campsite and bedded down for awhile. I can't believe that these beasts roam freely among the campsites. I hope no one has ever been hurt by them. They don't shoo away like a cat or dog!
