[@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.

[@dawnberner4985]

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

[@ceboya3225]

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

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Wow, thanks!

[@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.

[@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.

[@deenalaux5182]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@jamesking4308]

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

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You are so welcome!

[@RamonaRambles]

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

[@laurab9247]

Ooooo, at 10 minutes starts drumming. Sounds amazing! Fits so well! Thank you, Carolyn

[@lray7421]

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

[@aradee9028]

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

[@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!

[@gracelarsh6352]

Breathtakingly beautiful.

[@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....

[@jantenpenny]

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

[@brenstarr05]

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

[@deniserosner796]

Wow, wow, wow!!! One of your best videos! Of course where you were gave an absolutely magical base but/and the music, the camera work, the photos, Sadie, the history and adorable you! Brava! 💞👍🌈✨

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Wow, thank you!

[@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

[@rootbox]

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

[@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!

[@sarapulford5957]

🇬🇧 Caroline I have been "riding along" with you for quite a long time now and must tell you how much I appreciate my exploration of America. Thank you. 💕💞💗💖 I'm lòking forward to going East. 👍🏿

[@rhondahullinger903]

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

[@mikiweaver3558]

I love hearing the birds!

[@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!

[@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!

[@fondaproctor9034]

Loved seeing the Badlands. How gorgeous it is.

[@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🌄

[@charlottewilson4680]

So enjoyed this and the history you shared.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thanks Charlotte, I'm so glad!

[@Carol-qi6me]

Absolutely beautiful Carolyn Thank you for sharing this amazing place with us. 💓✌🏽 Yes otherworldly 👽

[@oliviagraceson6318]

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

[@gaylemoore2784]

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

[@judyabernathy80]

Absolutely stunning! Thank you!!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You are so welcome!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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! ❤❤

[@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.

[@kitaoden703]

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

[@tdhawk167]

That looked like a Hawk with Crows or Ravens dive bombing it so it wouldn't stay around. Hawks are extremely graceful and agile. Have had the honour to work with many birds of prey and release them back to the wild💕

[@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.

[@jocichon6048]

Whatever keeps that smile on your face works

[@Vangobetsy]

It’s a Bad Big Bird .. the smaller birds Defenders of their Nest and territories🐾☮️❤️🥳😌

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Oh wow. yeah, that makes more sense! Thanks!

[@grn6525]

Can come visit you at Cabela's. At Jack's campers in Piedmont getting rig worked on.

[@donnadoering5125]

Carolyn I always always love 💓 your scenic video's, and love the music 🎶 that goes with them. You are the Best 😘. Love 💓 from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thanks so much

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@nancyheneghan4760]

Absolutely beautiful!! Than you!

[@savingsilver]

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

[@willothewispl]

Reminds me of some of the westerns we watched growing up of the bad men riding through on their horses looking for water.

[@ksbeditor]

I adore the Badlands. They're so otherworldly!

[@kftaylor6757]

You are driving & looking....the Best!👍☺❤

[@hopeonthetrail6984]

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

[@jessiemariemaestas5028]

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

[@tinaperez9756]

Thanks Carolyn. It kinda reminds me of Death Valley.

[@MsSurigirl]

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

[@grandmacookieintheup5823]

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

[@lisarogers4034]

Yes! Love Redbone!

[@tdhawk167]

Some loud coyotes! And cutie pie Sadie telling them to be quiet and stay away!

[@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.

[@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!

[@terrynewell8968]

Beautiful, that's going on the list for spring!

[@karleenmiller1023]

I really enjoy watching your videos. Would never travel like you do but I get to see many areas of this country that I would get to. Keep up the good trips.

[@julieplumb3427]

What a beautiful drive thank you for sharing it with us ❤️

[@suncitygal]

Beautiful, wonderful video. Enjoyed it so much! Thank you

Always look forward to you and Sade girl!

[@tinyg1111]

Looks very quiet and peaceful

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Gail, first thing in the morning it was!

[@mtnpeek6748]

Cool video. Thanks for taking me along.

[@stephaniedavis7033]

[@karjurassic8364]

Great one, Carolyn. Thank you!

[@artemisiagentileschi2400]

Your videos are educational. Thank you for the tour.

[@kbentch]

[@tdhawk167]

Wow, amazing landscape!

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

[@jc-wq4lj]

That wee girl Sadie has a very good life.

[@maureenholbery7629]

Thanks for the wonderful video Carolyn, from Melbourne Australia.

[@ingridme6585]

Wow, what an amazing place to visit. Thank you for your video.

[@pamflowers8364]

Cool sheep munching on the divider grass.

[@larajackson7506]

Beautiful!!!! Thank you! See you later!

[@devyntillman4188]

Terrific video! Enjoyed it immensely!

[@MimiMcWil]

That was awesome Carolyn, thanks for sharing!!

[@kimjhpl1524]

I learned so much about the Badlands. Thank you

[@maryslocum9443]

Beautiful in it's own rugget way .

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Mary, yes, I thought so!

[@maryslocum9443]

I haven't been there in 40 + years .

[@donnavaughn8813]

Thanks you my friend 💕 see you soon

[@dianaroth9073]

yes i was there in Sept of 2013. it was great for a virtual visit.

[@annhope7760]

I have never visited South Dakota. Now that you have shared your trip, I am interested in going. Great video.

[@wandacrowell6766]

That was incredibly beautiful!

[@lunaqua7563]

Awesome music to match the scenery Carolyn! BTW, that bird behavior is called "mobbing", when a bird or birds dive bomb a larger predatory bird.

[@jaymore1178]

Thanks for the videos I enjoy them

[@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.

[@jocichon6048]

One beautiful place

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Amazing. Thanks for all the wonderful video footage. I have never been there.

[@babsgaudreau5936]

Beautiful scenery

[@Rachel20285]

Yes! Totally enjoyed the Badlands! I agree with you in Wall Drug…been there awhile back…lots of crap!

[@treeartist2811]

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