Greetings from somewhere in the middle of nowhere ... bad BAAAD Badlands!!! Very beautiful country, though. The Badlands are one of the most extraordinary places on the planet. The mystic Nature astounds. Went hiking in the hills - watched a mountain goat chew on some grass, and he watched me. He blended right into the mountain earth. You could barely see him at all, except for his little white tail. He be the hottest damn 'nimal on the mountain ...

It's 107 degrees today in the Badlands ...

This is all incredibly beautiful. A part of America that boggles the imagination, and one that everyone should see. There are also, however, some mad forest fires outta control in the region. Montana, Colorado, and parts of Wyoming are being ravaged by fire, as we speak. So watch out! Choose your Indian guides wisely. Code word for the day: HOT!!!!!!!!!!!
