Great report Akula!

I'll be driving through that area on business within the next couple weeks.  I'll be sure to enjoy recollections of your report as I do.

Note to selves...

Many that seek solitude in the Dakotas seek out the Badlands in both ND and SD, as the Black Hills in SD has become more and more of a tourist trap...type attraction... unless you know the secret spots in the Hills.  Badlands...Highly recomended.  Bring your boots. ;)

Saw the Fargo flood first hand as well.  Could have called it the Dakota Flood.  I could see clearly how this area was a massive lake once, just a few short weeks ago now.  Didn't see the Dakotan's cry'n for hand-outs.  Thousands of volunteers and over a million sand bags.
