Cedar Pass Campground in Badlands National Park, South Dakota | May 1981 & October 2013

Excerpt from my grandmother’s travel journal: “Thursday, May 28th. Up at 6:30, sunny & warm but the wind keeps it cool. With our simple setup we are quickly in order and breakfast under the “conistoga”-shade after washup.”

I almost didn’t reach the campground to capture this image. The government shutdown went into affect the night before, but I decided to try my luck anyway. Fortunately for me there was a delay in paperwork, which allowed enough time to find the exact campsite where my grandparents had stayed and explore a portion of the Badlands.
