Badlands National Park

[@marciafuksa1246]

Hi Adam and Abby, just wanted you to know that my husband and I ate at the ROUND THE BEND STEAK HOUSE the other day and we had Allie for our waitress also. I told her that I saw your video the other night and had to try this place out. The steaks were AWESOME and so was our service there. Just wanted to say thank you for recommending this steak house. Take care and travel safe!! God bless!!!

[@susanc4116]

We took the Sagecreek Rim Road (dirt road) all the way around the park, fed the prairie dogs, saw buffalo and then went back at night to see the stars. OMG that was the most amazing site - to look up and see thousands of stars - I've never seen that many in my life. You can even see the Milky Way. Talk about quiet....it was so very dark and scary quiet -but that sky was unbelievable. Truly magical.

[@ricko5123]

Also the absolute 💯 best time of the year for outdoors.

[@MikeWallace61]

Ya'll are stompin' some of the same grounds that my beautiful wife and I roamed back a few years ago. We took a couple years off the work trap to travel and experience some of the this great country. Turns out, it was one of the best decisions that we ever made. Shortly after coming back home, she was diagnosed with cancer and fought it like a warrior. I lost her 5 months ago. I'm reliving some of our adventures through your eyes now. Can't begin to express how much this is helping my soul. Enjoy your journey's! Looking foward to the next one.

[@AbomAdventures]

Sorry to hear about the loss of the wife. Your experience is why we always tell folks “no don’t wait until you’re retired, do it now, anytime you can!” People wait until it’s too late. You never know what life will throw at you. Even our parents now days couldn’t do most of the trails and hikes we do because of aging health problems. People should always take advantage of time off and traveling any chance they can, IF that’s something they have interest in.

[@j.sagiechode]

My favorite part going there was the prairie dogs.. so cute and not a bit shy

[@bartjustbart189]

You guys ROCK! Adam your cinematography, Abby your perspective... the audio.... this vid is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!! Thank you dear people...

[@AbomAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Well I can tell by the honest smile’s on your faces that you truly are having the time of your lives. Love the background music.

[@gregprince2523]

Man o man those views never disappoint! The Bighorns were soooooo close Abby!! You guys had the whole park to yourselves almost!! The Badlands are definitely otherworldly! Stay safe, have fun

[@budah2008]

You got my kids wanting to go back to the BadLands again! They want to explorer our home state more than ever before.

[@jbmecham]

The drive with the background music set a cool vibe. The music paired perfectly with the low angle early morning light that really set off the landscape. IMHO, this is your best video yet. Great work.

[@rogerNOmore]

I agree, good job

[@jimsmith5294]

I agree, I loved this format! I also love the stills at the end, just like your Abom79 videos.

[@PhilG999]

That intro was the BOMB! Abomb! More like that! ;)

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Sometimes it’s more glorious to enjoy the beauty in silence. Thanks for sharing with us Adam and Abby, it’s a beautiful ride. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋

[@bearsrodshop7067]

Awesome for you guys too share. In 1971 we layed over in Big Bear CA, in the desert in a 1950 VW Bus,, there was a still that is hard too explain,, but the wolves broke that silence around midnight, and will remember that time spent in Big Bear. Its the home of Roy Rodger's and dale Evens. My Ex lived there, so had a great time seeing home of Roy Rogers, and the Hells Angles base camp. Life goes on, but not adding to my bucket list to re-visit ,,(@@)!

Just stunning guys, just stunning. Great music too.

[@nilslin]

The national parks are one of the best ideas America started and spread to the world. Similar reservations existed in many countries prior to Yellowstone but it was the first formal national park in the world.

[@philbohrman3918]

Thank you for sharing that video with me, very well done.

[@robbaker6909]

Very clever use of the time lapse in between visits. Amazing to watch. Well done, both of you!

I came to you for machining memories of my past, now I'm wanting to hang out with you two and explore our beautiful country. well played. Loving the videos! See you when you come to California!

I love machining but I enjoy traveling the country and seeing new places too.

Thank you for this trip, it wars wonderful and so beautiful, thank you. I'm living in Germany and I see this never before. Thank you again.

One of my favourite adventures videos. Good job. Also Abby is so relentlessly nice. Great couple. Also the music added to the vibe.

[@AbomAdventures]

Thank you for the feedback 👍🏻

[@garthhowe297]

Actually the music was very relaxing, and fit the video perfectly. Thanks!

[@boyscoutmatt]

I really enjoyed that. Thanks!

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

I'm from Ireland (via Yorkshire) and the only Badlands I'd heard of is the film (great movie btw). This was so educational for me, enjoyable, and also got me researching what other films were filmed there, Dances With Wolves, How The West Was Won, Starship Troopers. The film Badlands was largely shot in Colorado but I believe does feature scenes filmed in South Dakota.

[@chkwgn460]

Fabulous video!! I love the intro. Beautiful sunrise.

[@stonevalleyozark475]

Awesome video, and incredible landscape. The wildlife is great and adds beauty to the scenery!

[@Machineius]

Great video. Im loving your trip. This is a great series of videos.

[@thomasr.3592]

Thank you for visiting and sharing this trip with us. Now you know what this part of America looks like. I was born and raised in the Black Hills of South Dakota. In the center of the nation.

[@tonyn3123]

Still tracing my footsteps from May and I'm really enjoying the re-visit. The stills brought the true colors better than the videos, which is expected. Thanks.

[@David-lb4te]

You're get so excited about this arid area. Goodness knows what you would think of Switzerland!

[@MaestroPrep]

Whenever I see folks driving thru the prairies... I always think about wagon trains and how folks traveled that land before cars... Thanks for sharing!!

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

A geological wonder for sure....

[@toolbox-gua]

OMG! We who live in a small country, very beautiful with mountains, when we say "look how flat the farm is" we mean just a couple of miles. Looking at your also beautiful vast country, flat and horizon gets a different meaning. Gorgeous!

[@brettbuck7362]

It's even more impressive when you are here, and traveling through it. Even people in the Eastern US have *no idea* (as I didn't, before I did it) how enormous, and how fundmentally *different* it is as you go through the different regions. Going from the East, to the midwest, to the West, you could almost draw a line across the road showing where one ends and the next begins. For example, along I-80 it goes from flat-as-a-pool table (although sloping upwards) "Midwest" to "The West" at about Happy Jack Road, near the top of the Sherman grade. You start out at 900 feet elevation in Omaha, you wind up at Cheyenne at 6500 feet - with no mountains or even big hills on the way.

[@Stan7670]

Love the road trip video and music.

[@blakecouch]

[@rhodysweet]

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Great video! I recently went to Badlands and found the scenery amazing. I was blown away by the texture of the rock and the "mars" like landscape. New follower here. Great channel. Crow

[@MoondyneJoe]

That bison at 23 minutes was a big fellow. Boy you wouldn't want to be whizzing around a corner at night and find one of those standing in the middle of the road would YOU? You would be eating Bison for months! and it would probably take that long to fix the car Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@rodneywroten2994]

Beautiful country

[@jlem8968]

I loved it there, didn't see that many animals as you did, I hope you are going out to Utah, it is breathtaking

[@1911wood]

I agree going out early really added to the video. The long shadows the quiet. When you walked out in that ridge with death on the left and right my wife was over it real quick. Said you were giving her the heebie-jeebies. You may not know at Lake Jacomo where you camped there are elk and bison. Fenced in of course, good thing too. We would take the kids there to feed them carrots and apples. The fence was tall and stout. Once I was watching the kids while they were feeding a big bull bison. I let my shoulder barely touch the fence. He just tilted his head sideways in a very casual way. His horn hit the fence near my shoulder and knocked me out into the parking lot. It sucked real bad. I think if they feel provoked and who knows what that takes and you could be in a world of hurt. So I applaud your sense to stay in the truck and film. We’re really enjoying your trip.

[@KJ6EAD]

It was not understood in decades past that wildlife should not be fed, as fun as it can be, because it's ultimately detrimental to the animals.

[@aspecialkindofhard-headed7082]

[@freethought2296]

Can you imagine what those buffalo herds were like when they numbered in the millions? You can hear the excitement in your voices and see the smiles of fun on your faces; thanks for taking us along!

[@AbomAdventures]

I was saddening to see the numbers of Bison before immigrants started killing them off. 300,000,000 million were estimated to roam the country and by the late 1800's there was an estimated 300 left.

[@daviddavis703]

Really enjoyed the time lapse and background music! Wonderful job!

[@Bagooda]

[@jjburkk]

Another great video! Don't worry about the audio. I can't believe there's not more people around. I'm always getting my wife up early before people get out too. Lol We're going back out to Colorado next month. Those places you definitely have to get to early or there's people everywhere. Might see you guys on the road. Take care and have fun! Thanks again for all the work you do on these videos.

[@AbomAdventures]

If you’re going to the National Parks be sure to check when the park closes. We hear that some people drive all the way there and find out the park is closed for the season.

We have a miniature Badlands here in Southern California in Riverside county. Looks a lot like that place.

[@petecaluori5939]

No worries about the audio - the music was enjoyable! It brings me back to when I was there. My First encounter with a Buffalo was in Yellowstone while camping on the Madison River. I was walking on a exposed sand bar back to my camp in the evening when I was halfway across a herd of buffalo came through me, I made like a tree with my fishing rod pointed straight up and they walked right past me. Unbelievable how an animal that size can be headed straight for me then at the last minute turn and move around me. I could have reached out and touched them, but was to scared!

[@ricko5123]

Dude, how's the monkey and all working out for y'all. Great views bringing back so many years of memories when my kids were younger. There in their mid 30s now but would be nice to take all the grandkids out for an adventure...

[@billydog1954]

The landscape there is very similar to Australia if I didn't know better I would think you are in our state of South Australia .Apart from the Bison LOL

[@KJ6EAD]

We could probably get you a few starter pairs of bison. Nothing's ever gone wrong with introducing non-native wildlife to Australia before. 🙄😉

One of your best videos yet. Thanks for sharing something that I may not see otherwise. Question… How many miles did you drive round trip through the badlands?

That bison neither approached for a handout not fled, regarding the humans in their vehicle as a benign presence. This means people have been behaving well, not feeding or harassing the wildlife.
