Around the US on a Motorcycle #32: Badlands National Park

[@fillg]

I went thru South Dakota a couple years ago and the main thing I wanted to see was Mt Rushmore. Then I noticed Badlands was nearby. I wasn't really sure what it was but figured I'd stop and check it out. That was by far the best part of my trip. I've never seen anything like it. Your video was great and brought back some great memories but video just can't portray how unique, beautiful, and just plain awesome Badlands is. I camped at the campgrounds that was 12 or 13 miles out that gravel road. Woke up one morning and there was a humongous bison about 20 feet from my tent, just moseying around eating grass. It was a pretty cool experience.

I would have loved to camp there if they hadn't been under a campfire ban at the time. It really is an amazing place. Thanks for watching!

Those bees man I have rode through a swarm before strangest thing ever and kinda freaky... Camping without a fire is so lame I totally hear you on that one man!

[@fireballmalone1]

DUDE! Cliffhanger extraordinaire! I kept looking at the horizon waiting to see an impending black cloud looming toward you and the video ends......until next time!

[@servicarrider]

I have really enjoyed this journey that you have taken us on. What a beautiful country it is that we live in! How fortunate are we?

[@GoSutto]

You got that right...we're extremely fortunate. I'm already itching to get out there again!

[@grahams6390]

Another great conversation...watch those tar snakes especially when damp-will step your wheels out for sure.

[@GoSutto]

Yeah they can definitely get your attention. Thanks for watching!

[@joegood8922]

Great vids. What Helmet did you use for touring?

[@alphacharlie65ms]

What camera are you using and what is the spot tracker device you were talking about.

[@RiderTyro]

Another amazing vid bro.... Me and Mr. Dirt LOVE U!

[@GoSutto]

Hahaha thanks man, I love you guys too. Very much.

[@sureshotian]

I hope to one day be able to travel lil that.

[@GoSutto]

Good luck making it happen..it was a fantastic experience for me!

[@TABTheAdventureBound]

I feel the same way, the unvisited hidden sights are the ones that have the biggest imapct on me.

[@TABTheAdventureBound]

Yeah and the FB is so true ive deleted FB off my phone and try to only check once a day to see if anyones trying to reach out to me. Ive also deleted alot of the crap and people I dont talk to or plan on talking to aswell. Only running about 50 family and friends on FB.

[@GoSutto]

Yep...gotta clean out the nonsense sometimes. Thanks for watching!

[@pierreeversole265]

What brand of tire do you run? I've never gotten 10k miles on one.

[@GoSutto]

+Pierre Eversole I did this trip on one set of Michelin Anakee 3 tires. 14k miles when I replaced them. The rear was pretty shot but the front could have easily done a few thousand more miles. Awesome tires!

[@pierreeversole265]

The bugs are locust.... big fat and juicy.

[@byknphil]

Skipped Iowa? We get no love.

[@GoSutto]

No sir...I spent like 4 days in Des Moines...AWESOME TOWN! Recap of that time is coming soon. Thanks for watching!

Here's what I shot during my visit to the Badlands in 2013. In my van, all alone and enjoyed every quiet moment I spent there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYTcqHiGrbFpa9k

[@GoSutto]

VanabodingWithSteve Awesome!

[@VanabodingWithSteve]

Thanks. 2 days after I was there they got buried by 2 feet of snow. I got lucky and left before that happened. While there I picked up my "senior' national park pass for only $10.00. Good for life and gets me into any national park for free minus parking fees. One day pass alone is ten bucks so I couldn't go wrong. If you're 62 or over it is a great investment.

[@glumGlumm]

Come on I want to see the bees!!! ugh!
