My first, and only, trip to the badlands was in May of 2004. I spent three days camping there and shooting a few images but that was not enough time. The rugged beauty is breath taking. The openness with vast skies will cause you to look skyward. My evenings were spent looking to the west, watching the sun set and the clouds constantly changing formations. That was seven years ago so I’m think it’s time to make plans for another visit.

It was also one of my motorcycle tours on the BMW1150RT touring bike. I bought the bike after leaving Agilent in 2003 and spent the next four years in a semi-retirment role and toured with it. I still have those desires within to get back in the saddle and ride. Life changes caused me to sell the bike and man do I wish I still had it.
