Setting up the Badlands shot.


Badlands National Park, South Dakota, July 1966. Dad sets up a shot while we visit the Badlands.

Dad does his John Ford thing while Irene does her Jerry Lewis thing.

Elizabeth Custer, accompanying the 7th Cavalry on its first leg to Little Bighorn remarked on how stark the Badlands were, although The Blonde loved them.

PS A guy I worked with almost died trying to walk across them until he was rescued by 2 girls.

(that's his story and he's sticking to it)

How did he try to walk across the Badlands? There are marked trails.

Not sure, IIRC, he tried to do it without a lot of water.

He's a practiced hiker and into nutrition, so he may have been trying to push himself.
