Sheep Mountain Table, South Unit, Badlands

Originally uploaded by miss_distance

Views from a day spent exploring the South Unit of the Badlands, and the NW part of Pine Ridge Reservation. Sheep Mountain Table road (like almost every gravel and 2-track route in South Unit) was off-limits, marked with a single fluttering yellow strip of CAUTION table stretched post-to-post at the entrance. Just this week, some guy drove out there in a jeep and got stuck and had to be pulled out, a real mess. Closed until drifts melt, and mud dries. June, maybe? SIgh.
