  • Even though I knew where we were going, I wasn't prepared for this! I could live here the rest of my life (except for running out of water, space for waste water, and only being allowed to stay for 14 days at a time...other than that the rest of my life though). If you are visiting the Badlands we highly recommend dispersed camping in Buffalo Gap National Grassland. #boondocking #rvlife #badlands

    Our little autistic grandson is 16 years old today. No he won’t be getting his drivers license, nor will he be one of those lucky 16 year old kids that gets a car for his 16th birthday. But he has come so far and has been able to do things we were told he would never do. He seems to function almost identical to Abby. You know I watch him and think how wonderful it must be to feel so content and to see just how genuinely happy he is.

    This video is awesome. I've lived my whole life in South Dakota. I lived 1 mile from the campground you stayed at in Rapid City and walked passed it every day this summer. I know the path you walked on in Rapid City and I walked it many times. Also the smell on that path is from the turkey vultures that roost in those trees every night in the summer. Seeing your videos of my home makes me so happy! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

    I have always wanted to go camping with my kids, the last time I got to go camping was when I was 19 and we camped on the myrtle beach camp ground with no planning, my friends picked me up at 10:30 on and said “hey come in we are going somewhere” and I had NOTHING packed. It was awful, I had to wash my clothes in sinks and hang them out at the camp ground, we ran out of food and all bought a carton of eggs to share with no way to cook them and ate a raw egg each (the taste wasn’t bad, but that texture was wack).
    I would LOVE to go camping again one day especially with my joys, but I don’t know if it will ever be possible with my sons eloping. I can’t imagine what I would do if one of them got away, specifically at night while I’m sleeping, and something happened.

    I live In Kentucky and where I live in the city we Bears like you are seeing, walk up down our street like they own it.. My dog goes nuts and I have to try and keep him calm because those bears will jump the fence and would eat us alive and that’s the truth. My neighbor that lives across from us, had to replace his fence twice, we watched the bear take it down and of course we tried distracting it but it’s attention span is if a toddler lol... All the restaurants in town had to lock their dumpsters because of the bear getting inside and taking out the trash and trashed the parking lot.... Then if coming in the middle of the night wasn’t good enough for them one destroyed the front end of my car!!!
