Mari and Paul at the sign for entering the Badlands.  Paul just escaped from University of Chicago Law School and was going a big road trip.  He gave us root beer, string cheese, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. (His mom is a dental hygienist and had loaded him up.)

More stuff!  This family gave us oranges--yum and full of juice on a hot day.   What a fun day for being on the receiving end of such generosity.  Very fun

Daily 31.9  Total: 1834.5 miles. The whole day was spent on a scenic tour of the Badlands, on hwy 240. Fantastic!!  We took many photos.  We met Paul, an upcoming law student graduate  from Chicago who offered cold drinks and snacks.  We met a couple who offered oranges, and we met several other people. Camped, as it was 60 miles to further services.
