Highlights from the trip:

• turning out the lights inside the "Fairgrounds" area in Wind Cave. You've never seen dark like that before!
• camping remotely at Sage Creek Campground in Badlands National Park and learning how to throw the atlatl, an ancient weapon by a park ranger.
• being visited by a large bison right in our camp site at Theodore Roosevelt National Park around 11PM. He was munching on the grasses surrounding our secluded site for about 15 minutes. He was so close we could smell him!
• shooting stars and wild horses, meeting Theodore Roosevelt, eating bison filet mignon, camping at base of Devil's Tower, and more!
