Lisa…. Thanks for this ongoing travel blog. I keep them all in the hopes that I will follow in your footsteps. Two questions come to mind, one of which may have been answered in today’s blog: do you use your cell phone to take photos? They are great. And I’m sure you are sketching everyday. Do you post them elsewhere and can I see them? Thanks, Kathleen
Hi Kathleen! I do use my cellphone to take photos. Before selling our house to travel full time I had an SLR with interchangeable lenses but I sadly didn't have room for it in the van. I mostly post my sketches over on Instagram. Thanks for the kind words!
Lisa, I soooo enjoy reading and "seeing" your weekly blogs - the highlight of my week. We've visited and hiked many of the parks you've visited the past several blogs, but it's delightful to see them through your artist eyes with your camera skills. Makes me feel like I'm right back there again!! Badlands glow in full sun - we watched an impossibly black sky alight with lightening and booming with thunder glide across the prairie toward us and got into our car just as the heavens opened up. So, we missed the glows you experienced. Time to return. We missed many of the caves, so we've added those to our bucket list! Thanks for your passion and for taking us along on your adVANtures!! Happy trails!
Hi Peggy! Thank you so much! The caves were amazing! I'll write about it later this week, but yesterday at Theodore Roosevelt National Park we had a similar storm roll in! It was scary in the van! Luckily the hail didn't do any damage! Always love hearing from you. Hugs from North Dakota!
All your photos and narrative are well-curated. I wouldn’t leave even one out of Badlands #1-#7, including the shadows and that sunflower! Both of those enhance the beauty of the geology, as well as your storytelling. Happy travels!
Thanks,Lisa ..... I'll have a friend introduce me to that site. Kathleen

As always pictures are amazing!!! What a fantastic adventure and it’s great you take us with you😊
Thanks so much, Alyson! And thanks for joining us on the journey!
In the bottom right of Badlands picture #6 it looks like you included a gumweed to keep the sunflower company.
Hi Steve! I noticed the gumweed when I was writing up the post!
