Plus, rain doesn't matter at Badlands. It's all rock or sandy soil or straight up sand or pea gravel, so the creek just gets deeper when it rains.

Everyone got a flag? They require one.
They occasionally search coolers n do not allow alcohol in park. It will need to stay in camp if you bring any.
I got a handheld cb if anyone does not have one...let me know if I need to bring it.

Looks like there will be no wheeling for me this weekend. Girlfriend broke her car on Monday, which means she now drives the TB until it gets fixed and I get to pay to fix the car. Hopefully I'll be able to make a trip up there for the beginning of the year.

Shoda will be there on Saturday only.
Kevin, sorry that your not going to be able to make the trip. You will be missed. See you the first weekend of January!

As of yesterday talking to Matt and Jason, we are going to be there around 10-11pm on Friday night. They're leaving around 9am and it's 800 miles/12 hours. So depends on many times we stop/how long we stop.

Yeah, slight change in plan, I'm just gonna ride out with Matt in his truck and we're picking Dave up on the way. Matts picking me up at 9am. I'm guessing after gas stops it'll be 1030 or 11 when we get there. Going to have to leave at 8 am or so on Sunday unless I get word that I dont have to work that night.
