RV Living Road Trip to Badlands South Dakota- AMAZING!

[@ceboya3225]

Hands down……one of the best travel blogs on KZbin. Keep up the good work 👍

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Wow, thanks!

[@dawnberner4985]

The Cinematography this week was all amazing! I really appreciated the peace as you showed us all those other worldly scenes.

[@talea5604]

I really love it when you include the history of indigenous people in your videos. Everyone should know about the massacre of Wounded Knee. Thanks for taking us along.

[@melissaamyx2196]

It looked like a vulture, hawks aren't that graceful and it was being chased by those smaller birds. I see that alot on our ranch, cheeky guys for being so small... Badlands is stunning! I rode my motorcycle through there several years ago and fell in love! And I love your new way of putting up info on the places you visit. And I just love how Sadie rides shotgun, too stinkin cute!

[@elizabethsantoro7332]

Awesome video -- thanks!!! 🙂🙃🙂

[@tammyginmn3380]

Usually the larger bird either just robbed or is trying to rob the nest. Sometimes territorial, Usually ate it's young....

[@heathereusden3029]

Beautiful country, wow coyotes plus!! Our dogs lie on the sofa and growl at the coyotes from under their blankets LOL! Thank you, as always, for sharing the history of the area and your well produced video. You always capture the essence of the area you are traveling through. You have given my husband and I quite a bucket list of places we long to travel to. Thank you for sharing, happy travels to you and Sadie. Be well:)

[@Birdbike719]

Yes, I always enjoy that aspect of the videos as well.

[@llwalgren]

Hi l

[@BubbaWarbucks]

Thanks for this video. Listening to the songs of the crickets in the background is very relaxing, and the juxtaposition of the flat grasslands with the grizzled, oddly sculpted badlands mud and rock formations, is strikingly beautiful.

[@cecizeni]

Was watching on my 7-in smartphone but decided to put it on my 65-in TV because the scenery is just beautiful I hope to visit there someday.

[@ps4peace]

I've been through there many times & at different times of the day, my favorite is when we're returning back to MN from the west in the golden hour. My last visit was a few years ago, a big soaking thunderstorm had come in the day before - the angle of the sun highlighted the green grasses, tiny white flowers & saturated rocks - felt like a million shades & looked like a watercolor painting.

[@cecizeni]

@@ps4peace wow,, you'll remember that till you're dying day🌄

[@NYCHFAN]

This is an absolutely stunning, mysterious, barren, area I have seen. This was a beautiful video and I can feel your joyful heart in it. Thank you so much! ❤❤

[@barbrabrurrier7548]

Super awesome. All the formations look like they were once structures, buildings, steeples etc that have been worn down with the winds and time. That area is very different than the grand canyon. Thanks for sharing these wonders

[@pattin4015]

I learn something new about our wonderful United States each time I tune in. Badlands in South Dakota - maybe someday! Beautiful and so peaceful. Love the contrast of clay geologic formations vs the new green.

[@dalekundtz760]

Thanks Carolyn for another great video and a reminder of a great trip I and my family took out west. We entered the Bad Lands from the east and will never forget coming up a prairie rise with grass on both sides and suddenly having all the dirt hills and valleys laid at my feet. I was amazed at how narrow the ridges were and the foot trails about 6 to 10 inches wide you could walk on as you were out exploring. Also remember the constant wind and wild animals all around. Again, thank you and Sadie for taking us along on your travels!

[@lray7421]

Thank you for bringing us along. The Badlands NP is now on my bucket list. Absolutely beautiful!

[@doloresreynolds8145]

Coyotes at night - cool. Keep Sadie close. As others mentioned, the smaller birds were attacking the larger bird of prey to keep it away from their nest. The trip through the Badlands was awesome! Thank you so much, Carolyn.

[@granneeanneestravelingbuck6592]

Oh My. All those beautiful rock formations. A BIG THANK you for sharing that area. I so enjoy watching your videos in the even after the hard day of Renovating. Love it. See out the some place

[@aradee9028]

Love the scenic views. Ya'll have fun ,thanks for letting us come along.

[@deenalaux5182]

JUST W O W!!! The scenery of Bad Lands is so beautiful! Thanks for taking us along. ❤️❤️❤️

[@kbentch]

I so love the otherworldly beauty of the Badlands! Thanks for sharing this, and so many other wonderful things!!

[@rhondatraywick3724]

Rode thru the Badlands years ago on a motorcycle in the late afternoon/eve, the colors and shadows were amazing! Will never forget the experience! 🇺🇸

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Very cool!

[@jamesking4308]

What a change from over 50 years ago. Thank you for sharing your adventures Carolyn! :)

[@oliviagraceson6318]

In Colorado Springs, they have limestone like the badlands. When a full moon hits it, beautiful. Glistening. And quite.

[@tayloredtravels5271]

Another amazing video! I've been watching you since the beginning I think and love watching you grow as a videographer. Went through there in June 1975. It is an amazing place! Thank you for taking all of us followers along!

[@grandmacookieintheup5823]

The Native American band, REDBONE, wrote and recorded “We were all Wounded at Wounded Knee” and “ Wovoka”……….great music!

[@lisarogers4034]

Yes! Love Redbone!

[@gaylemoore2784]

I drove thru the Badlands last week! I was totally blown away by the beauty and awe inspiring vistas!!

[@aubieal0878]

We have those noises-coyotes, running around in our front yard, back yard, a couple times a month, and we live in the city. There used to be cotton fields and bottom land(thicket, trees, marshy) where they lived a few times a year for babies.

[@judyabernathy80]

Absolutely stunning! Thank you!!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You are so welcome!

[@rhondahullinger903]

Badlands are beautiful and unforgettable .. visited long ago and remember as one of my favorite places

[@RamonaRambles]

Beautiful place. All tucked in up here now. 💚 Can’t stop smiling!

[@ksbeditor]

I adore the Badlands. They're so otherworldly!

[@jantenpenny]

Absolutely the best video ever of our beautiful country. Although I have been there myself seeing this through your eyes was amazing.

[@TheJourneyToJustice]

I used to live in South Dakota near rapid City when we were in the Air Force

[@fondaproctor9034]

Loved seeing the Badlands. How gorgeous it is.

[@brenstarr05]

This was one of my favorite videos of yours!! What a beautiful place!! Thank you Carolyn!!

[@rootbox]

soupy sand at the beach..squeeze to make sand castles. THAT'S what the architecture reminds me of

[@Maggie-Gardener-Maker]

Thank you for this really wonderful educational and entertaining video! I've been watching for years and I must say that this one is my favorite of all, maybe because of all the information you provided plus the music and editing was all just superb! I learned a lot of history that I didn't know and I actually pride myself on knowing such things but I learned new things from this video. Happy trails, stay safe and hope you enjoy the journey! I have loads of relatives in the northeast, especially in Vermont and Maine!

[@camille9892]

Well, I never thought I wanted to visit the badlands but now I do! Thank you. Btw, LOVE Valley of the Gods. Used to be my annual solo "spring cleaning" trip when I was still doing the corporate thing. Wild adventures kept me sane those days. Now, they just fill my heart and soul.

[@GaryNichols50]

Badlands NP was a pleasant surprise for me. It was more beautiful than I expected. But the beautiful part was also smaller than I expected.

[@aubieal0878]

It’s interesting to see the color demarcation of different eras of where seas/water lines were etc.

[@kathyduncan6460]

I loved this video! The Badlands are beautiful! We live on a beautiful Earth!

[@treeartist2811]

Loved this video and the music. Thanks for reminding me of my trip to Garden of the Gods 20 years ago.

[@hopeonthetrail6984]

That was a great tour of the Badlands. It is an amazing place. Thanks, Teri

[@Brimstonelov]

Such a beautiful place. Watching the formations roll by as you drive or walk, they look like nature's own cathedrals springing up, almost too holy for man. ;) Thanks for sharing!

[@mikiweaver3558]

I love hearing the birds!

[@charlottewilson4680]

So enjoyed this and the history you shared.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thanks Charlotte, I'm so glad!

[@TJ-iw5zq]

Wall drug donuts ARE THE BEST! Love S.D. …Black hills, badlands, Hot Springs. Love those barren rolling green hills. I feel like I can breathe out there. Every time I go there I feel like I’m home!

[@lisacarney234]

When you were describing the nuances as rough carvings of people, I thought to myself... like nature's Mount Rushmore, but dedicated to the Native Americans who lived & died there. Beautiful video!

[@HomesteadHippie]

Ok, Carolyn Rose! You did it again! You made me drag out my old computer to comment again! I watch on a firestick and it won't let me comment, only like! :) I LOVE watching this with the info on it. I LOVE the music you have with it! I'd also love to be there 400 years ago with my little piece of land with a stream, spring, lake, or all three. I was bon too many centuries too late. I like this even better than Alaska! Now if it just weren't cold there in the winter, I might get some land there to build a little place.

[@MsSurigirl]

Beautiful spaces, and I love that you listen to "All Things Considered"!

[@jessiemariemaestas5028]

We got to see the badlands by air when our plane flew over them. Then we went to them so beautiful

[@karentalley4591]

One of the most important places I'm wanting to visit! This video just encourages me more, it's just beautiful, thanks for sharing!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Breathtakingly beautiful.

Amazing visit with you through the Badlands Epic!!! ❤️❤️Hi Sadie Girl Your Joy is always contagious

[@savingsilver]

Loved the song (drums) while shooting footage inside the badlands. It really helped to transport me there with you! Great video Carolyn!

[@sarah_n_tank_girl]

When the little birds were dive bombing the bigger bird the scientific term for that is mobbing. The smaller birds are protecting their young. Totally awesome to observe!

[@daveogarf]

GASP! (Coyotes!) Yes, Sadie, they will make a meal of you. They do hunt in packs. The "big bird and baby birds" are local birds trying to chase away a hawk. They know there's safety in numbers, and don't want their fledglings munched.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Yeah, Sadie doesn't like the songs of coyotes much!!

[@kimdolly]

It was so beautiful but the coyotes would have driven our dogs wild. I wouldn't have slept a wink..lol. It is so amazing what you do and I love the Historical trip that you take us on also. Thank you so much.

[@stephaniedavis7033]

Thank you so much for this video. I visited the park in May, but it was cloudy the afternoon I arrived and completely fogged in the next day as I left. I also missed seeing bighorn sheep.

[@swennerb]

16:21 amazing shot! Would make a great sticker or postcard! I love this video. When I stayed in the Badlands National Park many years ago, I remember being so freaked out by the prairie dogs at night. I didn’t find out what they were until the next morning. When I saw them I laughed so hard because I was scared of those cute little things the night before in my tent. Fun memory. The bison are awesome too. I got some cool pictures of them outside of my vehicle. Not smart, but great shots. I wish I could find the photographs! I love your trip East for the summer! You’re going to love Maine and Acadia National Park!

[@tdhawk167]

Wow, amazing landscape!

[@marysiniawa5371]

That video is awesome. As I watch you travel I cant wait to hit the road next year after my daughter's wedding. The badlands are now on my list plus I always wanted to go to the Dakota. It seems like and odd state to me but now to showed me what I'm missing. Thank you much. Happy travels.

It is good to know because I would like to visit with the green contrast. Beautiful!

[@bookbug6417]

I have lived in the Black Hills for a number of years. I wish there was a way to guarantee the green grass in the Badlands! Spring into early summer have good possibilities. Also during the summer a few days after a thunderstorm. But the weather (and precipitation) are very unpredictable.

we were there at end of august ;in 2018, remember those picnic tables and the shelter over them, you were lucky to see the wildlife, we saw none. the park is beautiful. there is an old missle silo near the park, that is also a national park I believe. you should visit that too. also go to custer state park, plenty of wildlife, and wind cave park also.
