QT and I took a roadtrip to the Badlands, which is quite a drive for us. We did some hiking, sightseeting and wildlife viewing, and eventually pitched a tent on one of the bluffs (you can camp anywhere in the badlands with a few restrictions) and watched the fireworks from there. At gas price @ $4 a gallon, I think we spent $300 just on gas for the whole trip. I remember when I was on the road a few years ago, when the gas price was at $1.3x…I only spent $1,000 for a 3 week roadtrip that includes all expenses. I am glad to see Badlands, and wish I have seen more, earlier and cheaper!
