1880's Trail Town and camping by the Missouri River
Well, we are on the last leg of our journey. We end it by visiting one of Paw paws favorite places, the 1880's Trail Town. He loves it mainly because of their collection of memorabilia from the movie "Dances with Wolves" starring Kevin Costner. The movie was shot not too far from this place. He had a great time. I hope you enjoy watching.

The Prairie Homestead
Переглядів 1 тис.14 днів тому
How did homesteaders survive in the heat, winds, and cold of the Prairies of South Dakota, especially near the badlands? The land was practically free . Settle on 160 acres for 5 years and it was yours, according to the homestead act of 1876. Easier said than done. Let's tour one of these homesteads together and see how they did it. Enjoy.

    Well they looked at all the open country and felt it was a great place to make a homestead and farming or ranching. Problem is they were not aware of the brutal weather and living conditions the Dakotas have. The only people that knew about it and how to handle it was the Indians. But they had been there for hundreds of years.

    Loved the badlands. My son and I hiked out into the middle of an area that had some grassy flats in the middle of many giant walls. It was fun to climb down, figure our way through a maze of sand castles and then climb up to the flat we were looking at from the parking lot. It looked similar to the one way out at the 6:23 mark.
