Lesson # 5 Do not sight see when it is 100 degrees outside

We have no complaints about the weather! We have been traveling two weeks now and have not seen a rainy day. Most days have been in the low 80's. Making it a great time to hike, fish, play, and sight see outdoors. But on the day we were in the Badlands it was 85 degrees when I woke up. The campground was deserted. Everyone had left early to beat the heat. We enjoyed the morning and left the campground about noon. It was hot. So, we drove through the Badlands. It was too hot to get out and walk much, but we took a few pictures and took a wildlife drive and were able to see  some bison. Still a great day. But the next day we decided to swim when it was 100 degrees and left the campground at about 5 pm.
There is a reason my family likes to vacation in the fall. We do not like the heat! Again, we have no complaints about the weather. Just a lesson learned.

After we left the Badlands we headed to Mount Rushmore.
