canadian border

gf.



The furthest north I've been recently is Georgian Bay, I agree with Marty
it's a beautiful area, but that water is damn cold, even in August!

I took some cool pictures when we were in the Badlands....it was a day when
the sunlight was really filtered so the effect on the mud strata interesting
to shoot....
Did you go to the museum at Chief Crazy Horse Mountain? Wish they would get
that doen so we could go see it finished.

been thru the badlands several times
once while traveling across the country for 2 years in the mid 1980's
i also have some startling photos of the badlands

after that: several times work related and with students
no, i never made it to chief crazy horse or mt. rushmore for that matter.
crow dogs paradise is a special unknown place on the lakota res.
but you'll have to find it on your own!
amazing...........have not thought about this for some time.

Finding things on your own when you're not Lakota could be problematic....we
bought some stuff at the store there (and took a picture of a cow standing
on top of a 12 ft pile of rubble). Very friendly to me in that store, but
not to Mr Sails....

i would not recomend looking for the place i mentioned
it is a sacred lakota place
and i was only there by special invitation
i have most always found the lakota to be friendly and helpful
some are not and the bitterness is evident.
and i would say understandable.
