We left Branson, Missouri heading for Omaha, Nebraska. Our intention was to take in a game or two of the NCAA Baseball World Series buy getting some general admission tickets for the outfield seats. Lack of parking and too much standing and waiting didn't work out for us. We can say, however, that we went to Omaha and saw three World Series games. We just saw them from our rooms in the Hotel and various restaurants. No pictures in Omaha.

We left Omaha heading for the Badlands National Park in South Dakota. This striking landscape boasts a maze of buttes, canyons, pinnacles and spires. Skeletons of three-toed horses and saber-toothed cats are among the many fossilized species found here. Wildlife abounds in the park’s 244,000 acres and can often be seen while hiking, camping and traveling the Badlands Loop Scenic Byway.
