Upcoming Journey and Pond Ripples~

For those of you whom live on this side of the big pond and know of these areas, and can give me some interesting tidbits, would appreciate.  My husby, our 2 1/2 year old Meaka pupcub and I shall be taking a two week journey soon.  We plan to travel thru Iown up into South Dakota and then north to Bismark, North Dakota.  Then it is back down into South Dakota, the Badlands, and Custer National Park, down through Wyoming and into Colorado.  If you know of any special nature and scenic type things to see along this journey, that might not be as big as a national, or state park and would otherwise be missed, by all means let me know about it.  The images that follow were taken in our creek as a frog made air bubbles and ripples were formed, kind of a creative touch made by nature~
